Beautiful, Safe, Ecuador! Get your cameras ready!! Rebecca Adventure Travel worked with us to customize a 15 day, self-driven tour from the top of the country to the bottom of the country within the Ecuadorian Andes mountains. It’s was a fast paced trip but so worth being able to see the center of the country as well as some of own adventures. We planned the trip well in advance and selected each destination with purpose. Rebecca Adventure Travel did the rest. Fine hotels, excellent guides, car rental, attractions, some meals, and they provided FULL TIME guidance throughout the trip. We are well pleased with the team, communication was excellent and the hotels were beyond our expectations. We will use Rebecca Adventure Travel again and highly recommend their services. Many thanks to Maggie, Guillermo, Miguel, Katie!!Posted on Tripadvisor

A trip to remember! We booked the 23-Day Complete Ecuador & Galapagos tour through Juan in the Rebecca office. From the start there was clear communication and a helpful attitude, nothing was a problem. This continued throughout the whole trip. The guides were awesome and Carlos and the Operations team were always on call to help us if we needed it. This was a fantastic tour which covered all the main attractions including a week in the Galapagos islands which was amazing. I highly recommend Rebecca Adventure Travel!Posted on Tripadvisor

Zorgeloos reizen in Ecuador! Met Rebbeca’s Adventure traveling een individuele reis geboekt. 26 dagen Ecuador en de Galapagos eilanden en o.a. Quito, Mindo, Amazone, heetwaterbronnen, Cuenca, Baños en nog veel meer. Wat een fantastische reis hadden we. Eerst met ons gezin en halverwege sloten onze vrienden vanuit Aruba aan. Alles was perfect geregeld. Eigen busje met vaste gids en chauffeur. Bij iedere volgende locatie een update vanaf kantoor met de details voor de volgende bestemming. Hierdoor hadden we een zorgeloze tijd en hebben we Ecuador echt mogen leren kennen en beleven! Een volgende keer weten we jullie weer te vinden!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

You will start your first day of the Andes Mountain package tour at the meeting point in Quito, very early in the morning, at 07:00 AM. The drive to the Cotopaxi National Park will take around 1.5 hours. Once you arrive at the National Park, you can hike up the Cotopaxi Volcano to the refuge at 4,864 meters above sea level. After a safety briefing, you will commence your downhill descent on mountain bikes. Some optional trails on the mountain biking route are recommended for experienced riders. The journey will finish at a beautiful lagoon at the base of the Cotopaxi Volcano. After that, you will head to Hacienda Papagayo, where you will stay over the night.
*Please take some snacks with you as there might be a late lunch depending on arrival time.

This day will be filled with culture. At 08:00 AM, a transfer from your hotel will pick you up. Then visit a local indigenous market, Saquisili (Thursdays) or Pujili (Sundays). Afterward, you will travel to the Quilotoa Lagoon, which is an astonishing emerald-colored lagoon inside a large volcanic crater (3,800m altitude). Before reaching the crater, you will pass through the ancient canyon of Zumbahua, where you can see many indigenous towns and farmlands. When you arrive at the crater, you will be able to appreciate the vast and gorgeous landscape. You will be invited to visit a local indigenous home where you will have the special opportunity to interact with the inhabitants and learn about their culture. After lunch, it is time to explore the Quilotoa Lagoon as you will hike down to the lagoon’s shore. At the end of the day, you will travel back to Quito.
