Ecuador & Galápagos Islands

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ecuador is a small but extraordinarily diverse country in northwestern South America, home to Amazon rainforest, the Andes highlands, Pacific coastline, and the legendary Galápagos Islands. The mainland draws travellers to colonial Quito — a UNESCO World Heritage city — as well as volcanic trekking, cloud forests, and indigenous markets like Otavalo. The Galápagos Islands, sitting roughly 1,000 km off the coast in the Pacific, are one of the world's premier wildlife destinations, famous for their fearless giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and exceptional snorkelling and diving with hammerhead sharks and sea lions. Together, Ecuador and the Galápagos offer a rare mix of adventure, culture, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
