QUESTIONS? CALL US!  877-356-7376, 484-595-0480, or email us at info@djoserusa.com. Our journey through Ecuador and the Galapagos is impressive, both in terms of culture and nature. Quito and Cuenca both have a beautiful colonial center and in Otavalo we visit the colorful Indian market. Traditional canoes take you to your lodge in the jungle. In Baños you can relax in the hot springs before we make a trip to the volcano at Chimborazo. The spectacular train ride to Diablo from Nariz is also an option. Via Guayaquil, 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. Sometimes the accommodation are a little more remote, but the atmosphere compensates. Where possible we have selected hotels with a colonial character. In the Amazon region, we stay in characteristic shelters, so-called "cabañas", built by the local population. These are simple huts surrounded by tropical rainforest. There is a common toilet with a shower, there is no hot water and electricity. 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.
