Inspiring accessible Galapagos tour

As we were contacted by Mr. Arno Yeretzian to arrange an accessible tour including the Galapagos islands, we knew the tour had a special meaning for them.

It was not until later we realized that for Arno´s mom, Seeron, visiting Galapagos was hear dream, and due to her condition, it was something they thought it was not going to be possible.

Being able to help come true someone else dream is probably the most rewarding feeling. We created this company to help this happen. To deliver life time experiences for people with disabiltiies

When I read the following paragraphs I was truly touched and thankfull to be part of it. A special thanks to all of our team, specially guides, who are the ones who really made this happen.

Seeron words about her accessible tour

Dear Juan
A person, in my condition, of ALS progressive deterioration of muscles, should be confined to bed, waiting for finale, DEATH. But

All my life, I had a dream, to go to Galapagos Islands, where DARWIN ’s mind got pregnant with the idea of EVOLUYION, to me.

My son knew about my huge, inconceivable dream, he found ‘LATINAMERICA FOR ALL’ Company, that made my impossible dream come TRUE, a ‘Cinema Veritee’

We flew to beautiful Equador, where I witnessed cathedrals, to me as important as ‘Notre Dame’ in Paris , ‘ LA COMPANIA CHURCH’ , all miniatures, carved walls, covered with gold, being artist, I was elated with this ancient monument.

I was being pushed on wheelchair, throughout the important sites, that are ignored by the civilized world. We stayed 1 memorable day

Next day 4 strong men carried me to the plane, which took us to my dream islands, where I had visual orgasms of animals, huge tortoises, sea lions, different birds from finches to storks, 300 year old trees, awesome views of sea, sunset, nature, ALL THESE, being carried on a special wheelchair by 2 young, strong, loving and caring men.

My dream came true because of this ‘LatinAmerica for All’ caring family like super company.

Arno words about their accessible tour

Dear Juan,
I wanted to thank you and LatinAmerica for All, once again, for making my mother’s dream come true.

My mother’s ultimate dream in life was to go to the Galapagos. I grew up listening to her wish. However, it was always only a dream. We never thought that she’d ever go.

After my father passed away more than 2 years ago, my mother slowly became sick. Eventually, about a year ago, they diagnosed her with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). We were devastated.

She became weaker over the months to the point of losing her mobility and speech. I wanted to make her life wish come true but I didn’t know if it would be possible in her condition.

After finding you on the website, we took a chance, and took her along. We never thought that it would be one of the most increadible trips of our lives.

You and your staff are so professional and kind and helpful. You knew, better than us, how to handle my mother and her wheelchair. You were all very gentle and careful.

Our trip was worth every penny plus more. I still can’t believe how we were able to transport my mother from plane to plane, cars and taxis, boats and special wheelchairs.

With your specially designed mobility wheelchairs, we were able to take my mother on difficult trails, over rocks and boulders, to beautiful beaches and, most importantly for my mother, to the special animals such as the turtles, iguanas, sea lions, etc.

Also, with the boat, we took her to amazing islands and sites such as Kicker Rock and the Sea Lion Island, where we saw frigades, blue-footed boobies, sharks, rays, and many types of fish.

The hotels were very accessible and comfortable. All of the restaurants were able to offer alternative foods for her to be able to eat.

Although the streets and sidewalks aren’t perfect, the staff was very careful in maneuviering the wheelchair to go everywhere safely.

I’d recommend this trip to anybody, even if they don’t have any mobility issues. Life is so different on the islands and it’s worth it to see. We are also very excited now to try travelling to the other locations that LatinAmerica for All will offer.

Thanks again Juan for everything that you did. Congratulations and bravo to you for creating this wonderful company for people like my mom.

A few months ago, our friends and family thought that we were crazy for taking my mother on this trip. They didn’t think that it would be possible. Now that we did it, they are in disbelief and are trully impressed and inspired. I have included a few pictures for you.
Much success,
Arno Yeretzian
