March 2025 Newsletter: Ecuador Reflections & Planning our Year
May 19, 2025
We had a blast in Ecuador this February, with both of our groups - the Adventure Foray and the Luxury Foray. People from the Adventure Foray in particular went crazy with uploading observations to iNaturalist. We were so impressed that we are including the stats below.

We love Ecuador so much that we are thinking of going back before the end of the year. Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming international trips!
