QUESTIONS? CALL US!  877-356-7376, 484-595-0480, or email us at info@djoserusa.com.  This tour of Ecuador and the Galapagos is an impressive journey, both in terms of culture as well as nature. Quito and Cuenca have a beautiful colonial center and in Otavalo we visit the colorful Indian market. We visit the jungle Baños and you can relax in the hot springs before we make our way to Chimborazo Volcano which one may climb if so inclined. We also take a spectacular train ride from Nariz to Diablo. From Quito, you fly to the unique Galapagos Islands where a boat takes us to the various islands with their exceptional flora and fauna.

LODGINGS:  We stay in comfortable hotels, where rooms are equipped with shower and toilet. The  central location lends itself to exploring the area. Sometimes the accommodation is a little more remote, but the atmosphere is worth it. We have selected hotels where possible, with a colonial character. In the Amazon region, we stay in typical shelters, called "cabañas", built by the local population. These are "two-under-one-roof" wooden houses with each house having it's own bedroom and private bathroom with shower and hot water. The windows are fitted with screens. The houses are in the middle of the jungle by the river and are only accessible by canoe. During the stay in the Galapagos, we stay overnight on an economy boat and two nights in a hotel. On the boat you sleep in cabins with private shower and toilet.
