Your flight to Madrid leaves early this morning and takes two-and-a-half-hours. Connect on to the direct flight to Quito, which takes 11-and-a-quarter-hours, arriving into the Ecuadorian capital in the early evening. A private transfer will be waiting to take you into the colonial part of the city. Check in to your historic mansion hotel and head straight out to the plethora of bars and restaurants at your doorstep. Wandering around the cobblestone streets is a lovely way to get to know the city and our detailed destination Dossier will give you some top-notch recommendations for dinner.
After breakfast, a private chauffeur transfer will take you to the airport for your half-hour flight over the eastern Andes to Coca (the gateway to the jungle). Upon landing, a guide will be waiting to take you to the nearest port. Your adventure begins on a motorised canoe travelling down the Napo River. As you traverse the tributary, you'll see the pour opening up before your eyes. After a couple of hours of amazing scenery, exchange the boat for a dugout canoe and enjoy a peaceful paddle right up to your lakeside lodge. You arrive just in time for a cold drink at sunset.
Say goodbye to the jungle and after an early breakfast, return to Coca via canoe. Board the flight to Quito and you'll arrive at around lunchtime. As before, a private chauffeur transfer will take you into the city where you have the rest of the afternoon to explore at your leisure. We know the best places for a pisco sour at sunset and will send you off with our little black book before you go.
This morning a private chauffeur will take you to the airport in good time for your flight to Baltra in the Galapagos. Arrive in the afternoon and a transfer will take you to a small ferry where you'll cross the channel to Santa Cruz, renowned for its roaming giant tortoises. Travel to the island's reserve where you can see these seemingly prehistoric creatures wallowing in the shallow pools while your guide can give you an overview of the archipelago's extraordinary biodiversity. After spending some time here, it's time to head to the port to board your vessel for the next four nights.
All good things come to an end. After a leisurely breakfast and saying goodbye to the crew, it's time to disembark for your flight to Quito. Arrive in the late afternoon when a private driver will be waiting to take you the short distance to your hotel in the countryside. Gaze out to views of bucolic landscape, drink in hand and then enjoy the last supper.
