Ecuador

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ecuador is a small but extraordinarily diverse country straddling the equator on South America's Pacific coast, bordered by Colombia and Peru. It is home to four distinct worlds: the Amazon rainforest, the Andean highlands, the Pacific coast, and the world-famous Galápagos Islands — one of the planet's premier wildlife destinations. Travellers come for volcano trekking, cloud forest hikes, indigenous markets like Otavalo, and surfing along the coast. Its compact size makes it one of the most accessible and rewarding destinations in South America for independent and group travel alike.

Self-Launched Amazon Jungle Experience — Ecuador

Swap the group tour price tag for the same raw Amazon adventure — independently. This self-launched version of G Adventures' Local Living Ecuador itinerary takes you from Quito into the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon near Tena, where you'll stay with or near Quichua communities, visit the amaZOOnico Animal Rescue Centre by canoe, learn about medicinal plants, witness a shamanic ceremony, and cycle to the community of Shandia. By booking transport and activities directly, and choosing budget lodges in Tena, you can pocket serious savings while keeping the immersive, community-first spirit of the original trip fully intact. All costs are approximate estimates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Ecuador yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
