Excellent
This has to be in my top five greatest adventures! Not only did I get to see and experience what Ecuador has to offer, but also learned about the local cuisine, the people, the markets, and the wilderness, which was a time that I did not want to end. Even our New Year's Eve experience in the Ecuadorian tradition was memorable. The people in our group were all amazing and everyone had a great time, especially while white water rafting in Banos!
