    Cecilia From Lead Adventures was AMAZING! She worked with us - providing different choices of itineraries according to our budget and what we wanted to do or see. The Galapagos Experience was stellar! The activities in Peru were exceptional. The two weeks were packed with activities. I appreciated this because we saw and experienced so much in so little time. Doing this enabled me to pinpoint places that I would like to visit in the future for a longer length of time. Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.
