We booked a trip of 5 days in Galapagos 3 days before living the mainland, and all was amazing !! Sofia made a really good job, a big thank you to her !

Wilson was a great guide on this walking tour. He knew all about plants and led us at a good pace on this high altitude walk.

An amazing place to visit, everything around it is so unique and enjoyable, Wilson made sure we felt welcomed and even though it was a bit cloudy it still gave us a chance to catch some breathtaking views. I definitely recommend to take this tour when around Cuenca. You can't miss it. Do wear warm clothes as it can get pretty cold, specially if it rains.

The tour was just great. Our guide Andres was very nice and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the park's vegetation. The places we visited were truly stunning. Lunch was vegetarian-friendly and local. We highly recommend this tour when in Cuenca.

My husband and I booked a 14 day trip to Ecuador through Expediciones Apullacta. We arrive in Guayaquil where we were picked up by our tour guide Sebastian and driven to Cuenca. Along the way we stopped at a small cocoa plantation where we were given a tour and had a fabulous lunch. Over the next 3 days we toured Cuenca and visited Ingapira, Gualaceo, Chordeleg and Cajas National Park all with the same tour guide/driver. We had an amazing time in Cuenca. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. He picked us up every morning at our hotel and brought us back at the end of the day. While in Cuenca we stayed at the Hotel Victoria. We highly recommend this hotel. It is a beautiful hotel in a great location (old town) with a great staff. From Cuenca we flew to Quito where we spent the next 4 days. While in Quito we toured the city as well as the Middle of the World, Otavalo, Cotacachi, Peguche, and Mindo. Our guide while in Quito was Christian, he too was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. From Quito we went on a 5 night 6 day cruise of the Galapagos islands on the Alya Yacht. This was an experience of a life time. Everything about our time in the Galapagos was perfect. We returned to Quito for 1 day before our flight home. Christian was there to pick us up at the airport. He took on the Teleferico for an aerial view of Quito. We had lunch at Pim's at the base of the Virgen de El Panecillo statute overlooking Quito. It was the perfect ending to a magical trip. Expediciones Apullacta made all the hotel reservations and flight reservations within Ecuador and our Galapagos cruise reservations for us. The tour guides in both cities were exceptional. I highly recommend Expediciones Apullacta for your trip to Ecuador!

I would highly recommend Sofia of Expediciones Apullacta for the international air ticket arrangements she made for me this past week! Sofia was thorough, patient, and always gave me the best options before proceeding. She speaks and writes Spanish and English fluently. One of my trips was to Europe with several stops and the other to South Korea and Japan. Although I met her at her office initially, we were able to work remotely as well. She sent a secure link for payment, and it worked smoothly. Sofia saved me a lot of time and effort, and for her professionalism and care, I would use this organization again in a Cuenca second! Many thanks, Sofia and Expediciones Apullacta!

Our tour with Apullacta to Cajas National Park was great from beginning to end. We booked a full day (8:30 to 4) and the ticket purchase ($50 US) was fast and efficient. The office dministrator explained the day's schedule and advised us how to prepare. We left with a voucher on paper providing details of park regulations and confirming pick up time. Sofia followed up a few days later and on the trip day itself to alert us of very slight differences in timing. Very impressive! Our naturalist guide, Wilson, was expert at identifying park flora and fauna and shared so many interesting details about medicinal uses of the plants and about the biodiversity of the park itself. Many of the plants are tiny and would be impossible to spot without an experienced guide. The day was cold and rainy and he rallied our group with his enthusiasm and playfulness. This park is awe-inspiring and magnificent. One of the truly memorable experiences of my life. Take the opportunity to see it with the capable guidance of Apullacta. The outing includes a yummy lunch of trout at a restaurant in the park. Bring your warmest clothes, raingear, water and a snack. Apullacta is at Gran Colombia 11-02 y General Torres, Cuenca.

We really enjoyed our day trip to the Incan ruins. The staff were helpful in getting it set up, the guide was great, and the price a good value. It was helpful they all spoke english. We will book day trips through them again.

Great day to visit Ingapirca with our guide. We stop on our way to admire a church and its view. We had great explanations and we felt very well taking care of. Very much worth it

Our hike in Cajas was awesome. Our first hike was around the Llaviucu laguna to warm up a bit. A car brought us to Tres Cruzes a fabulous viewpoint (4200m and continental divide). There we started our tour to several beautiful lagunas, polylepis forests and experienced a breathtaking nature and brids. Our guide, Alejandro is brilliant. As a former park ranger, he is very knowledgeable about the park, the animals, the plants, the history, the trails, etc. He loves the park and that's what makes him so great. Once you have acclimatized to the altitude a bit and ready for a 4 hour hike, we can only recommend this trail (4 & 7). Ask for Alejandro!

Our Galapagos Island tour was fabulous! We travel quite a bit independently but this time we were out of depth so we wanted experts on the Galapagos to guide us. Expediciones Apullacta, based in Cuenca, Ecuador, fit the bill remarkably They are a travel agency that understands and can work with English speakers as well as Spanish speakers which is very important in South America. We live in the US but we had no difficulty working with EA to plan an exciting and fascinating trip. Everything was well executed: the airline, the hotel (Highly recommend Hotel Ikala) the tours, (You must see the blue footed boobies and tortoises!) the guides, the food, (try the scorpion fish at La Mer) the hospitality. It would have been nice to be there for at least 4 nights/five days (which EA recommended) but we did a 3 night/4 day tour because of time constraints. We enjoyed our land based hotel and the ability to walk around at night very much. You will feel very safe in Santa Cruz. It's not as rustic as I thought but still very unique (there are the requisite t-shirt shops though) but it's charming and colorful and full of nice people. Go there!

Our tour agent provided us with a list of what we should bring on our day trip. Our guide and driver picked us up at the hotel on time. Moises was very knowledgeable about the flowers and plant life. We even saw a flock of toucans! We had a great trout dinner and everyone enjoyed the day. Our group included English, Ecuadorean and the USA !

We did two excursions, one to Cajas National Park and the other one to ingapirca. Both were good, we had a really nice guide - Milton who knew a lot and explained everything very well. In cajas he also adjusted the trekking to our wishes and always made sure that we were fine with the altitude etc.

Wonderful experience with Juan. The best tour guide who was par of our Cuenca adventure. We had great time with him in Ingapirca and also a charming walking tour through the city of Cuenca. What I liked the most is how organized is this company. They work very hard to arrange the trip in advance, and also following our experience after it ended. Very recommended tours to discover Cuenca!

In addition to enjoying the natural and unusual beauty of the National Park we had a very knowledgeable, professional and friendly guide - Sebastian. As I mentioned briefly to Sandy, visiting Dos Chorreras , I do not think the property is suitable for our clients' profile. Entering the lodge lobby, one gets the feeling that we are in Disneyworld and not in Cuenca. Additional compared the quality of food and service we experienced in the Hosteria Ingapirca it was far superior than the lunch service and food quality at Chorreras.
