Amazing adventure with Latin Adventures
We booked this long awaited family holiday with Latin Adventures. Dante was extremely efficient in organising our holiday which covered Quito and Galapagos. We had a busy but enjoyable time in Quito starting with a city tour covering almost all the important sites followed by a trip to the amazing middle of the earth interactive museum. We also had a great trip to Cotopaxi and to Quilotoa. All of the above were absolutely fantastic with amazing guides who had excellent local knowledge and very very attentive to our needs. On all of the above tours we were treated to scrumptious lunches which we enjoyed immensely. We were also treated to a welcome dinner at a top notch restaurant in Quito (Somos). The food was out of this world. Our trip to the Galápagos Islands were very carefully planned with military precision by Dante and his team. Galápagos Islands were amazing. We started in Isabella and Santa Cruz Islands. Visited lava tunnels, hiked Sierra Negra volcano and also surfer mines of Isabella Island. These islands are a geological wonder. Snorkelling experiences were fantastic with much to see including sharks, sea turtles, rays and numerous species of fish. North Seymour island is not to be missed also Pinzon, Santa Fe, Floriana are unforgettable experiences. Diving trips were arranged for our son. He has undertaken many dives in a variety of locations but he ranked the dives he did in Florian’s and Gordon rock as number one.Dante organized these trips with a carefully selected dive shops. Underwater experiences were absolutely amazing and not to be missed by and diver according to our son. We can go on forever.. If you are planning on a trip to Ecuador, look no further than Latin Adventures.They will deliver value for money and an amazing adventure you will never forget.

12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $3898 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12-Day Ecuador & Galapagos Highlights Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Quilotoa Lagoon Full-Day Tour from Quito with Entrance Fees daily. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
