Sebastian was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. His passion for Ecuador truly shone through as he shared so much fascinating history and insight about the country. The sites we visited were stunning, and the waterfall in particular was absolutely breathtaking. If you’re open to a bit of light hiking, not too strenuous, this tour is a fantastic choice.

My driver was Diego Parra of Polylepsis Tours, which I booked through Viator. When Diego learned of my difficulty in walking, he adjusted my private tour accordingly. I was grateful to only walk up to the first of three Chorro waterfalls at Girón and to see Busa Lake without walking around the whole lake. He even provided a walking stick, which I failed to bring along, and which is so helpful to people who are not yet adjusted to the high altitude In addition to those sights and the delicious meal at Don Mario's restaurant at Busa Lake, Diego also took me to the museum "Casa de los Tratados" (where a peace treaty was signed on a table with a leather top) and the scenic view of the memorial of the war between Peru and Ecuador. As an English teacher in the USA of Spanish-speaking students who come from many countries, I am always happy to learn as much as possible about the culture and history of the places I visit. Diego was very knowledgeable and provided much information about the history and culture of Girón, Busa, and the surrounding areas.
