Ecuador Luxury Family Travel Review: Galapagos, Cooking Class, Local Cuisine, Rafting, Brewery, Hiking, Hot Springs, Snorkeling

Everyone really enjoyed all our adventures. It is really hard to decide on the best excursions. Some of the highlights include  the cooking class, white water rafting, and a visit to a local brewery. These experiences touched us the most because of the interactions with the local chefs and guides who were friendly, experienced and knowledgeable in their fields. These excursions were more local and not overly touristy. Papallacta Hot Springs near Quito was a unique experience with a nice hike and a wonderful lunch along with a calming experience in the hot springs. Everyone also enjoyed the kayaking, snorkeling and a day on the boat in the Galapagos. All of us would like to express the incredible experience we had on the mainland of Ecuador and do not want the time here to be overshadowed by the Galapagos. We highly recommend a visit to Ecuador needs to include at least as much time in Ecuador as time spent in Galapagos!
