What people love about Ecuador Andean Highlands Tours
- Ecuador Quest
It is a short but sweet week around the country, there is a great mix of destinations in the itinerary. I enjoyed going to Banos and the Amazon (secondary forest) with a group of travellers, to not only share the experience and take part in some great activities. Having the local CEO guide and transport organised also made it a hassle-free and fun adventure. G's focus on Planeterra and environment is honourable. My constructive feedback is to include breakfast in Banos as its inconvenient otherwise. Other than that, the CEO Alejo Buitron was fantastic! A great ambassador for G and Planeterra, organised and friendly with a positive spirit.
- Ecuador Quest
Ecuador was a beautiful green gem with natural wonders like volcanoes and waterfalls everywhere. The tour was a nice balance of travel with great optional activities which I took full advantage of. The Quito City and Equator tour, the canyoneering, the white water rafting and the Cotopaxi Volcano day trip were all worthwhile.
- Ecuador Quest
So much fun! Julio was an amazing guide.

"Great tour. We saw everything from waterfalls to the Amazon basin to the highest point on earth. The tour is flexible with some free time so you can do class 4 white water rafting or a day at the spa. Everything was very well organized and went very smoothly thanks to our excellent tour guide, Raphael Arevalo. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, nature and culture. He answered all questions some before you knew to ask. The hotel accommodations were almost all higher class. The Hacienda Anadalusia was one stand out. It was the nicest room I have ever had. The property is beautiful with gardens, llamas and rabbits you can feed. I highly recomend this trip.
