Testimonials
"Pushaq organized an excellent journey including visits to the highlights of Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. Every excursion matched our desires. Beautiful memories of all these amazing places and facilities will remain with us for years to come.
Planning the trip with Pushaq was fun, and the experiences we lived during these three weeks of travel surpassed our expectations.
Thanks to Caroline and Jose for advising and organizing a very longed adventure in South America!"

"Pushaq is a great DMC. I traveled to Ecuador in 2009 and before the trip I got amazing information about the locations we wanted to see. When I arrived, every detail of our 3 weeks trip was organized which helped me a lot because I do not speak Spanish.
Caroline led the entire trip! From planning our itinerary to being knowledgeable about each site we visited, she did it all!
I found Pushaq staff knowledgeable, helpful and honest. I highly recommend Pushaq to anyone who is interested in traveling to this beautiful country that loves life"

"Our grand tour of Ecuador was truly unforgettable and so amazingly diverse! We enjoyed it all the more knowing that Caroline and Jose had taken care of every single detail and had borne in mind all our considerations and requests.
No stone was left unturned as far as they were concerned. They have so much knowledge and experience of their country, the Galapagos Islands and the neighboring lands that their
recommendations are priceless! And we won’t tell you about all the little surprises on the way.. You have to experience them for yourself!"

Maya and I, will always have good memories about how you and José took care of us, while in Guayaquil. Our trip to the Galapagos and later on to Quito were fantastic. So much to discover in Ecuador.
While in and around Quito, we stayed at the bottom of the Cotopaxi in a beautiful hacienda, while it was spitting clouds and ash. We took a bit of risk, but it was definitely worth it.

Thank you so much for creating the most memorable experiences! The cruise line was the best, and our guide could not have been a better guide. He was so knowledgeable about everything, providing historic content, cultural insights, and information about the flora/fauna of the area. I have traveled in many countries, and he was, by far, the best guide I have ever had.
