Although we were at about 10,190 feet altitude, we felt great!
The mountain views were simply spectacular and the altitude didn't impact us as much as it did during the first part of the trip (i.e. Quito - 2,850 meters or 9,350 ft and Termas de Papallacta - 3,300 meters or 10,824 feet).
Few mosquitoes at night but not as many or as hungry as the ones in the hot and humid Amazon Basin! : - ))

Anakonda Amazon Cruise in Ecuador | Rainforest Cruises
Ecuador's only luxury, boutique riverboat exploring the Yasuni National Park, in supreme comfort.
Built in 2013, the 40-passenger Anakonda riverboat is the only luxury boutique Amazon cruise winding its way through Ecuador's 'El Oriente' Amazon region, operating in the upper basins of the Napo and Aguarico Rivers, around Limoncocha Wildlife Reserve and Yasuni National Park - Ecuador’s largest protected animal reserve.
The Anakonda offers itineraries of 4, 5 and 8 days (a combination of the 4 and 5 day). With such devoted and highly-knowledgeable guides, and so much to see in the Ecuadorean Amazon on board a vessel whose suites are so comfortable and facilities so excellent, even an 8 day journey will seem too short.

We have been very lucky to receive an UNEXPECTED complimentary upgrade! The bubble bath in that fantastic Whirlpool Tub was memorable!
Each of us also received a complimentary bottle of water for our 1 night stay.
Finally, the fireplace was lightened for us when we returned from a delicious dinner. Additionally, there was a heater in the room that can be used if need be.
Oh! And the HOT water bottle waiting for us in the comfy bed was also a nice touch!
Beautiful place, wonderful accommodations and outstanding service!
** Note that US travelers DO NOT need an adapter and we had NO problems in Ecuador at ANY of the locations during this trip!
(all electronics were charged and plugged-in like home basically!)
This classical, historic hacienda is situated on two (2) acres of beautiful gardens with over 200 varieties of native plants and exotic flowers.
Most of the ART WORK at Hacienda Leito is done by the owner's mother -- a lovely, talented lady that we met that evening at dinner!
Although we were at about 10,190 feet altitude, we felt great!
The mountain views were simply spectacular and the altitude didn't impact us as much as it did during the first part of the trip (i.e. Quito - 2,850 meters or 9,350 ft and Termas de Papallacta - 3,300 meters or 10,824 feet).
Few mosquitoes at night but not as many or as hungry as the ones in the hot and humid Amazon Basin! : - ))
