About this trip

The volunteers and staff were extremely accommodating! We had amazing food and the views were unbelievable. 

COTOPAXI

Our tour guide was great and it was well organized. I loved this day trip!!

Cotopaxi day trip

The most amazing place I’ve ever been… you have to just experience for yourself <3

Magic beyond belief. So much love.

The property itself is amazing. The views can be spectacular. They do an awesome job at setting you up to both relax and make new friends in an easy setting.
I had an vehicle incident and needed oil. The staff was able to arrange for me to acquire some and still go on the horseback riding adventure I had signed up for.
Just wish I had more time to spend here.

It was an amazing trip on the criuse treasure! Our guide Pepe was really competent, well informed, funny and patient. The cruise was really comfortable and the staff kind and friendly. I enjoyed every day in this beautiful and breathtaking surrounding of galapagos islands!

Galápagos cruise Treasure

This was one of, if not the best, trip I have ever taken in my life. Ronald was an incredible guide and the staff at the lodge were so welcoming and caring. I felt so comfortable throughout the trip and saw the most incredible wildlife and felt super safe swimming in the River with the guides and everyone in the group. We have such a fun time giving each other tattoos and trying the local drinks. You will not regret doing this trip at Toucan Lodge; they are the best. 

TUCAN LODGE 4 DAY 4 PEOPLE DORM

We had an amazing time. The hikes were great and the chocolate we made was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten.

This is hands-down the nicest hostel I have ever been to. All of the staff, and volunteers made this stay incredibly memorable. The facilities were gorgeous and the food was some of my favourite in Ecuador.

I hope I can go back some day!

Cotopaxi Secret Garden

This was absolutely incredible.  From start to finish, we were cared for by the staff: well-fed, always asked if we needed anything, and everything was kept immaculately.  Every day had at least 2 excursions and never disappointed: sea lions galore, iguanas, sharks!, flamingos... just an epic adventure.  This is the only way you should do the Galapagos! 

Galápagos Cruise

We had a wonderful time on the Quilotoa day trip. We tried a lot of different Ecuadorian fruits, we visited an indigenous people's house, we drank and danced and finally we visited the Quilotoa lake.

The climb down to Quilotoa and back up again was quite difficult if you are not used to the altitude and a bit out of shape. So I suggest staying in Quito a day or two before taking this trip and also don't rush while climbing back up. 

Quilotoa Day trip

Secret garden was such a unique and positive experience. The community is so lovely and the treks and activities were all well organized. The food was incredible and filling. The accomodations were amazing.

The only thing that could be clearer is that you will most likely have to pay for a trek (we went in the rainy season, so one of the free hikes was discouraged).

We had a great time thanks to our tour guide Jean-Pierre!

Mindo Day Trip

Es war ein fantastisches Abenteuer! Eine tolle Lodge, wir hatten jede Menge Spaß und Aktivitäten mit unserem tollen guide und dem fantastischem Team. Das Essen war oberlecker und ich habe jeden Moment genossen! 

Tucan lodge

Really remarkable trip.  The staff and accommodations were great.  I was looking for an experience with animals and nature and this exceeded all expectations.  Please do book.

Caiman Lodge

It was fantastic. A medium challenge for mind and body, you can do it with calm and good breathing. It was nice to meet Dario, our guide, who was very special with us. 
At the end, we had a great lunch in a nice restaurant. 

Cotopaxi Day Trip

The Trip to Otavalo was absolutely awesome! The Guide Alex explained a lot about ecuadorian culture, history & food! The market is really big and good to get some cheap souvenirs for family and friends. Would always book it again!

Otavalo day Trip

I went to multiple travel agencies looking for a lodge that was owned by an indigenous member of one of the Amazonian tribes, and finally got lucky enough to find Toucan Lodge through this agency. The local guides all grew up in the Cuyabeno reserve and knew the area since they were kids. The village of the owner of Toucan Lodge lives a 2-3 hour walk from Toucan (if you go in the wet season the village can be accessed by boat). The food was really really delicious and they accommodated me exceptionally well as a vegan. I saw all the monkeys, Amazonian Boa, Anaconda, Pink River Dolphins, caimans, giant otters, toucans, macaws, and so much more. We rescued a sloth that swam to our boat to escape a heavy current. We made Yuca Bread at the local Siona Village and were served a feast of Jungle fruits and veggies and tubors. They served dried Paicha from the River for fish eaters. We spent time with the local shaman who has a strong desire to cure and believes that he can cure anything, including cancer. I had the opportunity to return and spend the night with the shaman in a beautiful ceremony. I saw more frogs and insects and beautiful flowers and trees than o have in a lifetime. 

I will be back, and Toucan Lodge will be my stay. Many of the other travelers on the bus back to Quito stayed at other lodges, but none of them stayed as active as we did and saw as many animals. Day hikes, day boat, night hikes, and night boats. Swim in the Laguna and absorb yourself in this pristine jungle! 10/10! 

Say hi to Carlos (Siona Owner). He’s an extremely cool guy and still feels like a kid when he’s exploring the jungle with you! Don’t miss out!

Tucan lodge + transportation

Food was delicious. The birdhouse is so cute and amazing to wake up in! The waterfall trek on the arrival day is really nice!!
