A Once in a Lifetime Trip!
My eleven day trip with Jhayro was absolutely incredible! Truly a once in a lifetime trip. It was a jam-packed trip, but he knew how to run everything very efficiently. I feel like I touched every main part of Ecuador in such a short time. Our day trip to the Amazon rainforest was a highlight. We went to an animal refugee center where we saw many animals and followed with a visit to an indigenous village. He was always on top of our well being with keeping us hydrated and sunscreened in the high altitude. I felt like he knew all the locals everywhere and his expertise shines through the overall experience. Highly recommend your next tour with Jhayro. We will be reaching out to do future trips with him for sure!
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting Ecuador. It was a pleasure to be part of your trip, and we hope you had a wonderful experience.

Jhayro - the best tour guide for Ecuador!
Jhayro is such an amazing tour guide, his knowledge of Quito, Ecuador in general, the Galapagos, and so many other facts! Not only is he knowledgeable but also just a great person to be around. Couldn’t have had a better trip without him! You must hike to the waterfall in the amazon and take in all the amazing experiences in the galapagos. 10/10 all around!
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting Ecuador. It was a pleasure to be part of your trip, and we hope you had a wonderful experience.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos cost?
+
Prices start at $2,990 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 Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos?
+
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 Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos?
+
Around 8 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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ecuador essential : Andes, jungle of the Amazon and Galapagos 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 Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. 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.
