San Jorge Eco-lodge tours organized and planned our trip tothe Galapagos Islands. Transports to and from the Quito Airport were included and provided in the price. Our 3 night excursion to the Galàpagos was on a clean, comfortable yacht with extremely accommodating staff. The food was delicious and the activities to and around various islands were exciting. We were able to see many ocean and land animals. The tour guide provided us with a history of the islands and their inhabitants. We learned so much and had the adventure of a lifetime . We recommend touring with the San Jorge Eco-lodge adventures and the Galàpagos extension. WE truly appreciate the hospitality of all the individuals who helped make this vacation so memorable.

Our visit to San Jorge de Tandayapa (cloud forest) andthe drive to the Tandayapa Reserve is magnificent. The guide provided history of the lands and the pepole.This was greatly appreciated.The hike at the Reserve was beautiful and not very difficult.. The trails are well maintained . The views are spectacular in every direction, we were able to see some birds.

Our Visit to San Jorge de Milpe.(Tropical Rain Forest)The tropical forest is loaded with amazing trees and plants as far as the eye can see. We were able to see toucans, blue morpho butterflies,a woodpeckerand other beautiful birds.The initial circuit forest trails are easy and the last walk to the waterfall is difficult. If a guide is not available, could be a good idea to have a pamplet with information of plants and animals. Overall, the forest, the waterfall, rivers, and views are breathtaking and worth the effort!!

Many magical moments to be experienced in this enchanting hosteria.
Breathtaking views of the mountains and cloud forests; delicious meals
while feasting your eyes on amazingly beautiful birds and flowers; cozy
and romantic nights in the room sitting by a crackling fire, a bottle of
wine at arms length; warm and gracious staff headed by Jorge, the owner,
himself, a warm and delightful person who clearly takes great pride in
running this wonderful "home away from home." These are some of the
things that come to mind when I think of my stay at San Jorge.

It has been far too long since our return from wonderful trip to Ecuador, and our fantastic stay at Hacienda San Jorge, for this to be our first e-mail correspondence. I apologize. We had such a wonderful time at your beautiful Hacienda, and were so privileged to have had you as our host for both the days at San Jorge and our trip through the mountain towns. I wonder if you know how truly extraordinary an experience it was. We certainly do, and it is part of why we so often find ourselves thinking about the trip (the beautiful land and architecture, the wonderful food, the horseback riding trip, Mae, Bessie, Vicente, the cold snap of the mornings, the cozy fires at night, the small artisan villages, the amazing topography - I could go on and on). Thank you so much for the experience.

I heartily compliment the MY Floreana on their service , food, cabin, the tours, and the tour guide. We really liked Jorge, our guide, and Raul. Raul was a favorite with everybody. He always had a smile, and a great sense of humor. We all enjoyed the last night, when Jorge and Raul, along with a couple of others who got together to entertain us with music. Jorge played the guitar, and the others sang (so did we). Jorge was an excellent guide, and everyone was very patient with us. They even had to show us how to get into and out of the motor boat without tipping it over and dumping everyone in the water! We did need sandals for the water landings. All in all, it was a wonderful experience

Service was excellent. Vicente was friendly and accommodating.
The fires were beautiful. The food was good. Thank you for helping make our honeymoon wonderful.
