Really enjoyed the variety of things to see and do. Galapagos Islands were amazing and pleased to see that they are trying hard to protect the local environment and native animals and educate the next generation. Loved the giant tortoises and the way local rangers are protecting them from extinction from hand rearing eggs to releasing them when they are older. Blue footed Boobies were a highlight of mine to see, only wish I had seen the red footed boobies as well. The visit to the rose farm was an eye opener as I hadn't realised that Ecuador was such a productive place for roses and exportation, the employees all looked happy and relaxed. Interesting visit to Condor sanctuary and the way they are rehabilitating injured birds and introducing them into the countryside.
