We had such a fantastic trip. Everything Layna planned for us was perfect and helped us experience the highlights of Ecuador. I reached to Detour to book a Galapagos cruise. After booking the cruise I asked Layna if she had any tips for spending a week in mainland Ecuador and she was able to plan excursions for us we wouldn’t have been able to do independently without a guide for a very reasonable price. I worked with Layna over several months to plan this trip and she was incredibly responsive and insightful.
What moment or experience do you think you will remember most one year from now? Swimming, kayaking, and hanging out on the beach with baby sea lions.
