Country: The Galapagos Islands & Mainland Ecuador
Duration: February 18 to March 12, 2019
Distance Traveled within the Country: ~2000km
Memorable Impressions:
The Galápagos Islands do not require an
introduction. It should be on everyone’s bucket list,
a place where the animals are at total ease with
their environment, hence even us humans. We
chose the island hoping option. Arranged our own
itinerary and opting not to book a multi-day tour to
keep our schedule flexible.
Our favourite island
was Isabela, with its laid back atmosphere. The
snorkeling of the Las Túneles and Las Tintoreras
were superb. We fell in love with the blue boobies
and their dance to attract the females.
Mainland Ecuador is significantly more advanced
than its neighbouring country Peru, mainly due to
its US inluence. Ecuador is all about Nature. The
country has an abundance of different species of
birds, butterflies, frogs, spiders, snakes and you
name it insects. We got hooked on bird-watching
in Mindo. Hours and hours we spent looking for
and watching the cock-of-the-rock and other birds.
We were in awe to share the space with 100’s of
colorful butterflies and the electric blue morphos
at Mariposas de Mindo. Sitting outside our cabin
watching hummingbirds whisk by was a wonderful
treat. We exceeded the 5000m elevation mark a couple
of times on our hikes. Our favourite hike was
circumferencing the Laguna Quilotoa Crater Rim.
