  I had booked 2 trips with CarpeDM, first one had been 7 days cruise around Northern Part of Galapagos and the second one was 5 day trip to Cuyabeno... read more Caiman Lodge. Booking the Cruise, Consuelo had taken on board on where I wanted to go and it took her few weeks to find the perfect cruise for me and I was missing out due to working away in the Amazon. Once the payment was made, she had made sure my flight was booked and advised me where to go for my PCR test also informed me last min change of the cruise. I had booked the Caiman Lodge for 5 days but left a day early due to the guild not being that great but the Lodge it self was great. Consuelo is a great travel agent, throughout my 3.5 months, I could always message her on advise on my travels throughout Ecuador even tho it had nothing to do with a booking and she would always go out her way to help you regardless of the time, on which I'm really grateful for. They also do free walking tours from Secret Gardens, which I've done 2, It's a good way to meet other travellers and you learn some history about the city. I've done both trips with Alejandro who is a great guild and can advise you on other parts of the country to visit to. If you have any Questions feel free to message me. Gram Pan2723
