| This is a unique and unforgettable land cruise vacation to a part of the world that is so close but yet so far to many! This is a trip that is “off the beaten track” and takes you into the exotic, the unexpected, and into a world where you will meet extraordinary people and experience fabulous sights, sounds, events and places. These are adventures to which no one would normally have access. You will be immersed in wonders all around while traveling and sightseeing in luxury, gourmet dining in the most elegant places, and the beneficiary of the finest service and personal attention. And you will do all of this without the exhaustion of long flights, of constant packing and unpacking, of fighting long lines, of changing money or of concerns for safety. |

 This is a once-in-a-lifetime week in Ecuador and in just four hours by flight from Miami you will find a former Inca kingdom on the Equator, straddling the majestic Andean mountains, beautiful white beaches along the Pacific and lush tropical jungles. Because this tour is being organized by the Federación Interamericana Empresarial, (Interamerican Business Federation) you will be hosted in the most exclusive clubs, greeted by dignitaries of the country, have special access to some of the “treasures” of Ecuador, travel in style and comfort, and all of this with a “home away from home” style for the entire week in luxury accommodations at a Five Star Hotel, the Guayaquil Hilton Colon.
This tour will afford you a unique vantage point to view the port city of Guayaquil, on the coast and Quito, one of the highest capital cities in the world, nestled in the Andes at over ten thousand feet and the acclaimed beach resort of Salinas on the Pacific.
You will touch down in the country’s major port city of Guayaquil, your host city of some three million inhabitants, which has recently received the United Nations award for one of the most transformed cities in the world. Guayaquil, which sits on the mighty River Guayas, with its state-of-the-art river walk, shares many similarities with New Orleans on the Mississippi. In fact last year, Guayaquil held a Jazz Festival inviting several leading jazz bands from New Orleans to play while raising funds at the same time for the children of Katrina and those of Guayaquil.
This year, you will also be participating in another jazz concert, but this time there will be a special fundraising effort to benefit thousands of underprivileged boys and girls of Guayaquil who receive education thanks to some philanthropy Societies in Guayaquil. |
