Here are some great links on Ecuador, the city where we volunteered, the Galapagos Islands (which we visited), etc...
  • Ecuador: Everything you wanted to know and then some...
  • Bahia de Caraquez: City where the program is located Bahía has been declared an "eco-city", with organic gardens, ecoclubs and recycling projects and has been the first city in the world with a certified organic shrimp farm.
  • Genesis School, Volunteering: The school where we volunteered, located in Bahia City, Ecuador.
  • Galapagos Islands: An absolute highlight from our trip and simply an amazing part of our planet that everyone should see at some point in their lifetimes.
  • Yacht Floreana: The ship we took for 8 days around the Galapagos Islands.
  • Banos: One of our favorite stops. The surroundings of Banos offer hot springs, horseback riding, trekking, rafting, climbing, canyoning, swing jump and mountain biking.
  • Black Sheep Inn: Way off the beaten path...considered one of the most ecologically friendly places in the world to stay. Little did we know that Jeff would start his own environmental consulting company less than a year later.

Enjoy Ecuador and don't be afraid to ask us before you go...
