Climbing to the mountain hut on Cotopaxi and ending up in a hailstorm on the equator

Tribes Overall:

It surpassed our expectations - we had an excellent time.

Guides:

Both guides (Juan Tapia on the Galapagos and Marco on the mainland) were fantastic - very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

La Casona de la Ronda

Quito

We stayed in two different rooms (at the beginning and end of our holiday) and both were lovely. The location is great for exploring the old town and the staff were very friendly


Hacienda Hato Verde

Hacienda Hato Verde

Ecuador

They provided some wonderful vegetarian evening meals ( and breakfasts) and were very welcoming.
The hacienda is beautifully restored
