Our Galapagos Multisport Adventure

Finding a giant tortoise on a hike
Finding a giant tortoise on a hike
Our Galapagos and Ecuador Adventure in 2012 was one of the most amazing destinations we have been to with the wildlife, culture, and diverse terrain. We did the 9-day multisport tour to San Cristobal, Isabela, and Santa Cruz. Afterwards we did an extension to Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge on mainland Ecuador. There was never a dull moment of our tour!

Checking out the Quito Mirador

Almost missed our flight!

Our Ecuador and Galapagos adventure began today with a bit of a scare. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 6:20am and both of us slept through our multiple alarms. We woke up at 5:20am and scrambled to get all of our bags in the car and off to the airport. Once we arrived, we found that the ticket counter for Delta was backed up and the flight …

Quito City Tour

The day in Ecuador begins earlier than we are used do as there are only 12 hours of light year round from 6am-6pm. So 6am actually feels like 8am back home. We had a continental breakfast of eggs, toast, fruit, cereal, coffee, juice & tea. Simple spread but perfect. The waiter did not speak English but they always had an attendant at the front …

We're in the Galapagos!

We flew to the Galapagos this morning. The kitchen at the hotel was closed when we got up but they fed us a muffin and juice on the first part of our flight to Guayaquil. Then on the two hour flight to San Cristobal, we received a meat and cheese sandwich fixings with a beverage. I steered clear of the tomato and cucumber on the plate just to be …

Sick in the Galapagos

No matter how much I prepare and try to prevent getting sick it seems to happen to me every single time I travel internationally. Actually, I used to get motion sickness driving to the super market at home so I guess if you put it into perspective, I'm advancing somewhat. Last night I woke up to the "traveler's sickness" which …

Snorkeling around Kicker Rock

We began the day early to head out snorkeling on the north end of San Cristobal. Along the way to our first snorkel stop we saw humpback whales! We stopped to admire the grace and beauty of the mother and her calf. I enjoyed that our guides kept us on schedule throughout the day but we never felt rushed or hurried along while watching and …

prepping for our bike tour on Isabela

Mountain Biking on Isabela

We flew out of San Cristobal this morning on a little "puddle jumper". They rearranged our luggage between the planes to match the correct weight restrictions. We had packed light for this trip and looking back this was all I needed for clothing: swimsuit, rashguard, shorts, 2 tank tops, versatile travel skirt/dress, lightweight travel …

Clear skies at Sierra Negra

Hiking up Sierra Negra Volcano

When we began hiking up the volcano this morning we were surrounded by fog. Our guide cautioned us that the weather was out of our control so we may or may not see the crater below. Also, we encountered some rain along the way but after the sun came out we were panting in the heat. So we were thankful to have a daypack with everything necessary …

Ancient Dinosaurs on Santa Cruz

We transferred from Isabela to Santa Cruz by boat. I was thankful for a chance to sit on the front of the boat and look out ahead to keep my motion sickness at bay for the most part. We were also rewarded with a few porpoises who played alongside us as we motored along. The whole transfer from one island to the other took a couple hours but we …

Bellavista Cloud Forest & Quito

The last time I traveled to Ecuador in 2006 I remembered Quito as being colder than I expected. I expected it this time and was prepared with a fleece hat and jacket to ward off the morning cold. We traveled far far into the mountains on a winding two lane road. It took a couple hours before we finally arrived at Bellavista Cloud Forest Lodge. …
