This summer my husband and I had the opportunity to take a kid-free trip to South America to visit some college friends. We visited Ecuador and Colombia, and were able to book all of our flights on points by signing up for the United Explorer Card and taking advantage of the United Excursionist Perk.

This week on the Travel with Kids Podcast I'm sharing exactly how we got the points and exactly how we booked a FREE stopover in Colombia to see the epic Cocora Valley with some of the tallest wax palms in the world.

I'll also share what makes Ecuador such an underrated destination to visit, and a brief overview of some of the itinerary highlights (that are all kid-friendly if you wanted to replicate this trip with kids).
