Waterfalls in Ecuador
EcuadorWith big mountains and wide rivers, it should come as no surprise that there are many wonderful waterfalls in Ecuador. The waterfalls here are stunning and utterly scenic — many crash through rocky, forested areas and land in calm emerald pools. Some waterfalls may require a hike to get to, which will allow you to see plants and animals along the way. Other waterfalls are easily accessible from the road, but are magnificent nonetheless.

It Was Hard to Say Goodbye
Ecuador is a beautiful country from Quito all the way to the coast of Guayaquil. It is definitely a must. Percy was amazing in helping us plan our trip, as I must have changed my itinerary about a million times. Even when I had questions during our trip he was right there ready to help and took care of everything. Now, there are no words to describe our driver, (which we were lucky to have for 9 days) Ricardo. He was professional, friendly and went above and beyond to help make our Ecuador experience one to remember. It was sad to say good bye, but one thing is for sure when we plan our next trip to Ecuador we will be asking for Ricardo again.

Treasures of The Galapagos

We owe a great deal of our curiosity about Ecuador to our driver Ricardo, who was an enthusiastic cheerleader for the country.
