Ecuador, named after its position on the Equator, is a small but incredibly diverse country which boasts Amazon Rainforest, Andes mountains, a vibrant traditional culture and the Galápagos Islands.  Enjoy the amazing culture and sights on one of our tours, specially designed to help you see the best of Ecuador - or let us create one just for you with our Tailor Made service.

ECUADOREAN AMAZON

Ecuador has its own section of the legendary Amazon rainforest, home to hundreds species of mammals, thousands of birds and insects, many endemic to Ecuador. Ancient trees, some over 400 years old, tower above, entangled with tick lianas and supporting a huge variety of bromeliads. Wildlife apart, this is also a cultural experience, where we meet local communities who share their intricate knowledge of their surrondings; the medicinal propierties of plants and their unique relationship with the jungle. There are a selection of Amazon Lodges and River Cruises which will allow you to get deep into this unique ecosystem.

ANDES 

Remote villages and colorful Indian markets rest among the soaring cones of snowcapped volcanoes. The towns and people retain a distinctive identity with fascinating blends of Inca and colonial influences, and many can be visited as a day-trip from Quito.

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

This stunning archipelago, Darwin's living laboratory of evolution, provides unique opportunities for viewing wildlife at close range. We offer a wide range of Cruises to suit all tastes and budgets, and which offer the best way of seeing the different islands.
