We had a terrific time and saw so many interesting, beautiful and amazing things. Rebecca Adventure Travel planned everything well, and communicated very effectively. Our tour guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgable about culture, history, plants, animals and more. He took great care of us. The Cotapaxi lagoon hike was peaceful and pretty. The ride to Quilatoa crater lake and exploring Llanganates park were fascinating - Ecuadorian agriculture is quite impressive, and the people are so resourceful. The basic Amazon Lodge and canyoning were a highlight of the trip - super fun. Our tour was private, so made an extra stop at the Thursday morning Saquasili market, which was a fantastic way to see the fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other foods of Equador, and to mix with the local people. We also added the Guango lodge onto our tour, where we saw about 10 species of hummingbirds, and a torrent duck - a very impressive swimmer in the current and rapids! There were lots of gorgeous things to look at around Banos, such as the Pailon del Diablo waterfall. The Banos zoo was really terrific - it's not only got very active, interactive animals, but the views from the zoo are great. It was also fun to walk around in Banos in the evenings.
