ARASHA & GALAPAGOS....INTEGRATION CONTINUES TO GROW ! |
|
| |
|
All of us at Arasha would certainly like to encourage a phenomenon we have been experiencing for quite some time now. Those who have been participating in this ever-growing trend, are maximizing their Ecuador Discovery and having a wonderful time!
While more and more people are getting the feel of mainland Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands, Arasha Tropical Forest Resort & Spa and no doubt Quito, a Colonial city with churches covered with gold and an awesome night illumination are probably Ecuador's most exclusive attractions.
The enchantment and experience of these magical Islands is unlike any other in the world. Yet, much to our pleasure and appreciation, we have seen more guests visiting ARASHA before or after their voyage to the Galápagos as a result of the efforts of over 100 tour operators worldwide. Recently Galapagos lodging has improved greatly and hotels are enjoyed by guests that prtefer sleeping in a hotel room instead of a yacht and still be able to visit the islands they want.
The Islands visitors realized a Quito stop was required to fly to Galápagos and discovered ARASHA was only two hours car drive away, a downslide from 2,850 meters above sea level to the tropical forest at 541 mts a.s.l. on a paved road, they instantly included this unexpected bonus to stay at the Internationally Awarded Arasha Rainforest Resort & Spa and visit Quito, a world heritage city with magnificent views at day and night (wonderfully illuminated) of its beautiful and large Colonial casket with its gold embroidered churches.
Furthermore, many mentioned after the stop that they would have probably regretted not maximizing, to the fullest, their enjoyment of one of the most nature favored countries in all of South América.
In short, we encourage you to visit ARASHA, not only as a destination, but also as a pre or post stop to your GALAPAGOS trip! ASK YOUR PREFERRED TOUR OPERATOR on how to facilitate this absolutely unique package when you travel to Galapagos.

HELP, CURE, AND RELEASE: ARASHA'S RECOVERY HOSPITAL PROGRAM |
|
| |
|
We are delighted to inform you that we have developed ARASHA'S RECOVERY HOSPITAL. Recently, we have been rescuing wildlife that has been showing up in the resort (victims of failed predator attacks, Toucans with broken wings or fallen from the nest, Kusumbo's having escaped Owls or Eagles, Iguana's being run over in the highways, etc). Local people have brought them to us since we have made it clear that if they happen to find wildlife in danger or hurt, to bring them to us so our Vets can help.
As our vets have been working, clients have been watching, first hand, our rescue efforts and they have been very pleased. We have our wildlife "guests" in two little hospitals, one for adults and another for babies until it is time to deliver them back into the wild. All at the resort are very happy to help our little neighbors. Recently, a 4 month old baby sloth came in by itself, it is severely wounded and we hope it survives. We don't know what happened to him.
We will keep you posted on our "HELP, CURE, and RELEASE" program involving our little friends.
