The trip was well organized and fun! We had a chance to see some of mainland Ecuador and visit some authentic places with few tourists. Loved the chocolate tour with the best brownies in the world. My teenage son loved the cloud forest and rappelling down the waterfall. Diego is very personable and responsive. Thanks for making our first visit to Ecuador so memorable. Would recommend this company.

An Unforgettable Healing Journey with Barefoot Expeditions My 7-day journey to the Amazon with Diego from Barefoot Expeditions was truly life-changing. This wasn’t just a trip—it was a deeply intentional wellness and healing experience designed to help me work through fear, anxiety, anger, and past trauma by reconnecting with God’s magnificent creation. Diego thoughtfully curated every part of the journey. We learned about plant medicine and natural healing, practiced grounding and meditation with ancient trees, waterfalls, and rocks, and immersed ourselves in the raw beauty of the jungle. Our days were filled with meaningful adventures like rafting, hiking, climbing, and visiting animal rescue centers —each experience perfectly balanced with rest, reflection, and incredible food. Beyond the activities, what made this journey so special were the conversations, the stillness, and the people we met along the way. Diego has an incredible gift for creating safe, inspiring spaces where healing and connection happen naturally. His knowledge of Ecuador, the travel industry, and the country’s hidden gems is unmatched. Whether you’re seeking deep personal healing or an exciting, soul-stirring adventure, Barefoot Expeditions is the place to call. Diego personalizes every experience to your unique needs and desires, and his passion truly shines through in everything he does. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary experience. I’m endlessly grateful for this journey and highly recommend Diego and Barefoot Expeditions to anyone ready for something truly special. Thank you Diego!

It was an awesome day with 3 women- we hiked up to Jose Rivas refugio for lunch. the altitude for me was slow going, but I made it with encouragement!

We had a great tour with Diego and driver Antonio, they had excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat and had a comfortable relaxing time. The visit to Mindo was especially fun, from ziplines to waterfall hikes to great pizza for lunch. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling in the area, especially families looking to experience the sights and experiences around Quito!
