How this Works:
Here you'll find the generalized itineraries and activities. You'll find these to be fairly generalized, which gives us flexibility if you'd like to slightly modify the itinerary. Once we're in agreement, I'll send you an invoice. The invoice is to be paid in full as I cannot make reservations without upfront deposits. Once the invoice is paid in full, I'll send you a detailed itinerary. Two weeks before your trip I'll send you a finalized itinerary.

Thanks so much for thoughtfully planning this trip! Parque Condor was fun and interesting. I loved being able to meet a kestrel up close!
Lagunas de Mojanda was breathtaking. Such a good call for the itinerary. It was one of the beautiful places I've been.

Thanks a million for showing me this amazing country, helping me with my Spanish, introducing me to your friends and the true culture of Ecuador! I loved it all.
I never could have seen it this clearly on my own or staying in tourist towns.
