Authentic Ecuador was amazing. They handled everything and booked us in beautiful and charming places. Our tour guide, Milton was fantastic. He never pushed us but encouraged us to keep going. I would highly recommend this company and Milton as a guide.

We LOVED our experience at the Yasuni National Park! We felt very well taken care of during our stay there. It was a perfect mix of educational, adventurous, and relaxing. Being fully immersed in the community was so wonderful, as we were able to learn about their culture and participate in it in such a hands-on way. This was one of the coolest experiences of our lives!
