1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ecuador is a small but extraordinarily diverse country in northwestern South America, straddling the equator and packing an remarkable range of ecosystems into one destination. Quito, its UNESCO-listed capital, sits at over 2,800 metres in the Andes and is celebrated for one of the best-preserved colonial old towns in Latin America. The Galápagos Islands, roughly 1,000 km off the Pacific coast, draw wildlife lovers from around the world for unparalleled encounters with giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. Ecuador's slice of the Amazon basin offers jungle lodges, river expeditions, and access to some of the most biodiverse rainforest on the planet — making the country a favourite for adventurous travellers who want multiple ecosystems in a single trip.
