| This trip was made in January 2004. A few days were spent in Quito and the northern Highlands before spending a week cruising around the various islands making up the Galapagos. Upon our return to the mainland we then crossed the Andes and spent several days at the Casa Suizo lodge on the Napo River, a tributary of the Amazon. Here are the pictures taken in Ecuador and on the Amazon... |
