Cloud forest

It was everything we hoped and more!  Bellavista was amazing, and the guys there arranged some really fun additional activities around Mindo on the day we went zip lining (butterfly farm, orchid farm, chocolate factory).  The Quito city tour they put together was also great. But the highlight of course was the Galapagos. Again, it far exceeded expectations. The food was good, the guides were great, and the other passengers were wonderful to meet and spend time with.  And the animals -- we saw them all, both above and below the water. All in all, a spectacularly successful holiday that was enjoyed by the whole family and will be remembered fondly forever.  Thanks so much for all your help in putting it together!

Although we enjoyed the whole trip if we have to select a highlight it was our visit to the Yasuni National Park.  Wildlife watching from the canoe, walking through the rainforest and looking over the forest canopy from the viewing tower were all great experiences and we were amazed by the diversity and visual accessibility of so many plants and some much wildlife.   Napo Wildlife Centre – Such a wonderful location and the fact that it can only be accessed by canoe helps to make it a really special place.  Bellavista – Another room with a view in a great location for bird-watching including from the circular dining room and around the lodge.  Staff were friendly and helpful.  All the guides were very knowledgeable and keen to show us their country and its wildlife.  They were also happy to talk more generally about other aspects of life in Ecuador which added to the interest of the trip.  They were friendly and spoke excellent English.
