I am confused on reading the carry on luggage "rules" for this flight!! Can someone tell us about the carry on requirements for this? Can you carry on a small bag PLUS a purse/back pack etc? Or is it just ONE item? Any help would be appreciated!

This is a tricky business. I just returned from Galapagos liveaboard. I was on the other big airline from Quito and I had to pay 12 dollars for too much weight, but on return same packing and no charge. A lot depends on agent and timing of your arrival. Pure chance. I carried regulator and mask in carry on plus small bag for a few books and paperwork, etc. Originally planned for pull carry on with reg inside, but then I had to take it out.

Sorry, I spaced there. I thought "Aero Gal" was a username of someone needing help. 
Here is a Google translation of the Aerogal web site plus picture of limits in Spanish.
Hand Baggage
In domestic and international flights are allowed one piece of hand with a maximum weight of 10 kilos, external dimensions (height, length, width) not exceeding 115 cm. Besides the passenger can carry in the cabin:
* Woman's handbag
* Blanket or blanket
* Camera or binoculars
* Photographic equipment, video and laptop
* Items for consumption during the trip
* Baby cot
* Crutches
Hand luggage that's too big and can not be placed in the upper compartments must be registered and can be loaded in cargo compartments, our staff will deliver a baggage check.

They have extremely limited luggage requirements BUT as Rodney said its the luck of the draw. We ALL were overweight on our trip but the computer system was down so we paid a resonable overage fee that I negotiated for the group which was much less than we would have paid if they could weight things. We did not have issues returning as I think they expect you to buy stuff on the island so don't hassle you as much.
You do need to limit it to one carry on and use a fanny pack as a purse. And if you carry on is heavy make it look like its light or you will be red flagged.

Should be easy for those of us used to hauling steel 120's about.And if you carry on is heavy make it look like its light or you will be red flagged.

Three words...
low cut shirt!
Seriosuly, it seems that it may depend on the day you fly. Going in, I didn't see anyone having to pay. Coming out, our live aboard (Peter Hughes) takes care of the bags and you NEVER have to pay with them. (they actually take your bags to the airport for you.)
But if an ugly guy like me can get it for free, I'm sure anyone with nice smile and low cut shirt can get it!
