Entrance to the Cayambe Coca Ecological Reserve in Ecuador
I hiked part of the trek on our Ecuador Adventure trip and visited the village of Oyacachi too. I enjoyed staying with my dear friends, Betty and Marcelo and catching up with them. We hiked along mountain ranges and lakes, beautiful greenery and hot springs! And of course, I was very sore for my conference the next day!
Our intrepid travelers - Marcelo, me, Jascivan, and Hamilton (Brian Morgan)Missoula's flight connections have improved so much since I first flew to Ecuador that I arrived in Quito in just 13 hours versus the 20+ it used to take! Betty and Marcelo met me at the airport with big smiles and hugs. They just finished building their new home, I'm staying with them for the first time, rather than at a hotel. I've worked with Betty & Marcelo since my first years running tours in Ecuador, and they are just like family. The two served up a scrumpious dinner of sauted shrimp, steamed rice and vegitables, and we downed it all with a bottle of cherry wine made in Missoula - yes, we have wineries in Missoula, Montana! We had a great time talking late into the night. Tomorrow, Marcelo and I are heading high up into the mountains to explore some new areas and hike some of our Cayambe-Coca trek.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
