Wow. Geluxe is my new favourite way to travel. I felt extremely well taken care of. Exploring Ecuador with caring and detail oriented guides who had a resounding love for their country was an absolute delight. I had tears in my eyes so many times on this trip after feeling overwhelmed with the beauty that surrounded me. The accommodations were in fabulous areas and always had a little something extra (views, food, staff) that helped me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The food was abundant and delicious, almost always with a reflection of the Ecuadorian cuisine. So many varied and interesting activities. Loved climbing to base camp at Cotopaxi (well, I loved getting to base camp- a worthwhile climb with a lot of elevation to add to the fun). The sheer beauty around every corner of land and sea (manta rays and seahorses in GalA¡pagos were my favorite) helped to rate this trip one of the best trips I have every been on ( maybe even the best). Thank you to all the people of Ecuador for loving their country and land and helping me see a small part of the beauty and kindness that exist in abundance.
