MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOO LITTLE!

As part of a responsible and professional tourism practice, we have chosen to actively participate in the life of children in our country.  A school was created on October 10th, 3400 m. above sea level, at the foot of the Illiniza south peak.  It was legalized by the Ministry of Education on November 21st 2002 and it currently runs on its own resources.


It has 25 primary school students grouped in a single classroom, regardless of their grade.  These children, from a less privileged socio-economic class, live in a place where life is quite different from that of the visitors who travel to discover the world.


This very modest group lives in harsh conditions.  Our agency aids them by purchasing school supplies, clothing, shoes and so on.  This is the reason why we invite you to participate in our project.  You may visit and spend time with them.  Furthermore, we welcome your ideas to help them. In case of contributions, we can purchase together the basic things for these children who thank you in advance.


Please let us know if you are willing to include a visit in your route to the school and whether you are interested in sponsoring one of the children.

this school is named after our grandfather

The Andes

The Galapagos Islands

Revive Charles Darwin’s footsteps following the endogenous flora and fauna of these islands.   You will have the possibility to observe seals, iguanas and lizards while relaxing on magnificent white-sand beaches.  And, if you look up, you will observe flocks of exotic birds, including Nazca and blue-footed bobbies together with red-footed boobies and Darwin finches, as well as many other species that will surprise you.  Sea- life addicts will also take pleasure in the hidden marvels of the turquoise-green ocean around the Archipelago.

THE AMAZON RAINFOREST

Break through the extraordinary environment of the Amazon jungle and discover a wealth of biodiversity by touring its reserves and national parks. Jump on a canoe and let yourself be overwhelmed by the rhythm and atmosphere of the enchanting jungle.  You will be accompanied by the most unusual animals such as the pink dolphin and all sorts of reptiles.  You will be simply astonished before this incredibly dense vegetation.  You will visit indigenous groups that will share their ancestral traditions and believes with you.  We will transform your stay in pure gold from the universe.

The Coast

This region is not as famous but still as beautiful as the others.  There are over 300 km. of beach for the enjoyment of those fond of surfing and life under the sea.  You will visit ecological reserves where you can observe authentic fisherman villages flourishing in the mangroves.  Friendly, coast people await for you with their music and gastronomy.  Humpback whales will make of this excursion an unforgettable experience from June through October.  Visit the Plata Island, the reign of sea birds such as blue-footed and Nazca boobies.
