Excellent adventure!
This is just how I hope to travel to the Galapagos, though I'm taking your advise and not booking a return flight! What a great idea to volunteer at an organic farm! It's so important to support these healthy enterprises. Sounds as if you visited some fine places in Ecuador. I look forward to your Colombian adventures!
