    Initial support team was fantastic. The local company and their guide Paul was one of the best I've ever traveled with. I only gave 4 stars because there was some confusion about single or double accommodations, which ended up costing an unexpected $100. Newer company, so I think there are still some things that need to be worked out.

    The marketing doesn’t do it justice! Epic adventure incomparable to others. Paul our guide, and Gabriel our driver were the most knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful, helpful people to have on this first time Ecuador adventure. Each day topped the last. From exploring the city, markets, museums, chocolate tasting in a single day. Then driving to Cotopaxi national park hiking, and then horseback riding 2 hours, enjoying the peaceful and unpopulated natural scenery. And then a mountain picnic at the end of some ruins was unbelievable! Then we ended up in this beautiful mountain lodge with amazing freshly caught trout perfectly cooked with local potatoes and veggies and of course I opted to purchase a bottle of wine for the table. And this is how day 2 ended. I CAN GO ON!!! But you need to experience this trip for yourself! You won’t be disappointed if your goal is adventure. Come prepared with Aspirin and definitely take advantage of the coca tea to help with the elevation sickness, which is a REAL condition. If you can’t take aspirin, talk to your doctor. I recommend a waterproof for humid conditions, sunblock with a high SPF and reapply. It might be cloudy or rainy but you will still get burned. I traveled here April 8-15, 2023. Didn’t experience any rain. Only on the last 2 days. I hope you end up with a group that was as cool as mine. Only a total of 5 people but we connected!!!

    I wasn't sure what to expect as there was only one other traveller on this trip, but I've had a fantastic time. Most of the accommodations were stunning and far surpassed my expectations. The activities were all well-organised and very interesting and/or fun. Our Local Insider Antonio was a fantastic guide and a very sociable man, which was crucial to our trip as we were with such a small group.

    Book the Trip! 10 out of 10 experience from booking until the trip back home. I could write so much about our amazing time and the wonderful accommodations but to some it all up, it's legit, book it. I plan to continue travel with Culture Trips and I highly recommend it. Ecuador was amazing and our travel expert (Henry) was THE BEST
