This was our family's favorite day in Ecuador. Zip lining was the highlight but the hummingbirds visit was also super memorable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and we met some great travelers on the tour. Our 9 and 7 year old kids had a blast. Thanks!

After we went with this travel agency to the Galapagos and had a great time, we decide to with the same travel agency, Itai recommended us to do a 1 day tour in MIndo and Otavalo before we continue to Cotopaxi, both MIndo and Otavalo were very enjoyable, and we loved and enjoyed every minute, we highly recommend both.
