I spent a couple weeks touring around Ecuador and the Galapagos with my mom! It was a wonderful experience with all the wildlife and terrain we were able to cover. We saw sea lions on the beaches and tortoise's on the islands. We hiked volcanic craters and explored cathedrals in historic Quito. I will never forget our time together in this beautiful and diverse country.
Mom and I standing on either sides of the Equator. (Kassandra Magruder)We leave the Seattle airport early in the morning today. In fact, our flight leaves so early that we stay at a hotel next door to the airport. That alarm at 3 am was not wanted, but we pull ourselves out of bed to start our journey.
Mom is flying up in first class today, while I'm back in coach. She checks in with me every so often, bringing me a drink and some headphones. Thanks, Mom!
We finally arrive in Quito late at night. I'm amazed at how much the airport has changed in the 8 years since I last visited Ecuador. Everything seems so modern and clean. I love how easy the Quito airport is to navigate. All of the signs are in English and Spanish.
We clear customs, pick up our bags without trouble and walk out the doors to the waiting throng of people outside. I nervously glance around, hoping that I'll recognize the head of our Ecuador office, Betty. She has my name on a sign and a big grin on her face. We chat as she takes us to Hotel Eugenia. Mom and I fall asleep right away in the quiet room.
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.

great travel company. We called for a last minute trip to Svalbard. Kevin gave great advice and worked fast, and emailed promptly. He even got us some last minute discounts. Highly recommend!
We also traveled through Adventure Life on another Arctic cruise, and they supported us through some trying circumstances.

It was nice to speak to a representative who answered all my questions. No pushy sales pitch. She called me when I requested a phone call and was pleasant and helpful. Big thank you to Karilyn Owen.
