From kayaking and snorkeling in the Itabaca Channe

From kayaking and snorkeling in the Itabaca Channel, we continued into the verdant highlands of Santa Cruz Island to Galapagos Magic camp, a hidden sanctuary, both for the resident giant Galapagos tortoises and for those lucky human guests who get to spend the night.

A passion project of the Galapagos entrepreneur and legend Polo Navarro, we arrived to an authentic Ecuadorian ceviche lunch (complete with popcorn and plantain chips!), toured the reserve - nearly tripping over dozens of giant tortoises - enjoyed an Ecuadorian/Brazilian caipirinha sundowner on the view deck and then had an amazing 3 course dinner in Magic's Cave Restaurant/Lava Lounge INSIDE one of the reserve's lava tubes!

I've been waiting years to visit Magic. And the camp, the reserve, the tortoises, the hosts, the food and the peaceful vibe, all were truly magical. Gracias Polo and the entire Magic team!

From Baltra airport to Galapagos kayaking and snor

From Baltra airport to Galapagos kayaking and snorkeling in less than an hour! This is how to kick off a Galapagos adventure, Tropic style! It starts with the VIP arrival lounge, avoiding the long "Galapagos immigration" lines, and then, after a quick change of clothes and 15 minute bus ride, we (literally) jumped into the shimmering, turquoise water of the Itabaca Channel!

Fantastic day of adventure exploring Cotopaxi Nati

Fantastic day of adventure exploring Cotopaxi National Park on mountain bikes, capped by a picnic lunch and waterfall hike along the Pita River. Also got a sneak peak of @chilcabamba_lodge future upgrades (stay tuned!) and @jascivan's potato vodka retirement plan!

Our second day of the @tropic_ecuador lodge to lodge trek, we hiked from the Otavalo valley into the Zuleta valley, walking past small family farms raising alpaca, sheep and cattle through fields of barley and quinoa. On our hike we spotted a condor soaring over Zuleta as we enjoyed a @sinnersmicrocerveceria cerveza break with a stunning view. We also met and chatted with Rosa, a lovely Zuleteños woman who was heading home with a sack full of alfalfa for her guinea pigs.

Our hike ended with a cooking class and delicious lunch at the home of Carmita and Jose Maria, proud Zuleteños and entrepreneurs who host many Tropic guests as part of our May I Introduce You program.

A short but very memorable stay at the stunning and luxurious @hotel.otavalo. A welcome dance party Kitchua style, hands-on demonstration of the traditional Kitchua foot loom (an incredible machine requiring incredible coordination and patience!), Ecuadorian craft cocktails on the roof deck, all capped by a delicious tasting menu dinner prepared by @art.hotels.ec's head chef! Thank you Stephanie and team for a lovely stay!

Incredible (full!) day in the Otavalo valley under the watchful eye of Imbabura volcano. In the morning we hiked from Otavalo to Miguel Andrango's weaving workshop via the sacred Peguche waterfall. @Jascivan and I last hiked this trail with our friend Barbara, whom we dearly miss. In the afternoon, we kayaked along the shore of San Pablo lake, ending with a delicious lakeside picnic lunch courtesy of the Tropic Adventure Van!
