Default Ecuador's best attractions and how to avoid tourist traps

I have just completed a 5 week triip around the highlands and the beach of Ecuador and I have to say that OLA Adventures took good care of me and my family throughout. From the friendly personal reception by the company rep to the personalised tours of Otavalo, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, not to mention the Mindo cloud forest, these people certainly know their stuff. they are honest and will not rip you off unlike a lot of other tour companies I have come across in Avenida Amazonas. I would personally like to thanks Jon and Melanie for their attention to detail in every trip we made, not to mention their invaluable local knwledge and friendly advice.


I am also thinking of finding new Jungle destinations for next year if nyone has any advice on this, that would really help me.

thanks and hope this helps someone,

Peter

Hi pedrojaime, Me and my 4 friends 2 weeks Thailand tour, especially it was a jungle tour. Really we had a good time at Chiang Mai, which is located at the north of Thailand. Chiang Mai is a quiet place and not so overcrowded, If you like to see a new Jungle destination, then I suggest Thailand . Thailand offers a good atmosphere for trekking & other juncle adventures. The Koh Samui, island of Thailand is also an amazing place for Thailand tour. There is a 4 wheel drive jeep available to take you through the jungle, across rivers, hidden valleys and to waterfalls in the forest. We also experienced the Koh Samui jungle tour and got a chance to view the fantastic sights & the jungle of this island.

For Thailand jungle safaris, Phuket is the best place. Elephant trek over Phuket's tropical jungle hills was the highlight of our Thailand tour. Sitting high on the back of the elephant and get a birds eye view of the jungle the most exciting experience, so book your Thailand tour combined with jungle safaris and enjoy your next vacation at Thailand! Best of luck!
