- GBGennady· October 22nd, 2024My 8-days trip to Ecuador was unexpectedly and uniquely enjoyable, some of which was a Cotopaxi volcano hike, swimming in a lagoon under a waterfall, visiting a Vayuri Indian community, and a canoe ride. Unexpected was having a chocolate tasting session at a Swissotel in Quito and finding an art store near Quilotoa Lagoon where I bought two beautiful paintings by a local artist. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful in managing excursions and paying attention to my dietary needs while helping to order food in restaurants. What I would have changed is having cars' windows closed with air conditioning on because of the bad air quality while on the road. Overall, I am happy that I chose to go on this particular trip.Show moreResponsible Travel South America commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

Traveler•Written January 2025I'm trying at the moment to decide how many days to spend in Ecuador also considering safety warnings from our authorities.
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written February 2025
The safety warnings that are currently in effect for our destinations are NOT visitable in your itinerary. USA Travel Advisory mentions the Coastal Pacific Zone, and the borderline with Peru, as your trip includes Quito and the Andes, these are 'green zones' safe tourist areas.
