Before heading out for the day, ask reception for advice on the best local markets open that morning – Riobamba’s market scene shifts throughout the week, and the staff often know which ones offer the most authentic crafts and freshest produce.

The trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos was excellent. The boat was very comfortable and well run and the jungle lodge was fascinating – we saw lots of wildlife, including a rainbow boa beneath our cabin. You were right to advise us to spend the whole week in the islands – any less would not have been long enough. We are certainly considering going to Peru with [our friends] next year, so shall be in touch.
