Peru & Ecuador (Galápagos)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Peru and Ecuador together form one of South America's most compelling travel combinations, spanning ancient civilisations, dramatic Andean landscapes, and extraordinary wildlife. Peru is home to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas, alongside the Amazon Basin and the colonial city of Cusco, drawing travellers who come to hike, explore ruins, and experience Indigenous culture. Ecuador offers the Amazon rainforest, volcanic highlands, and the UNESCO-listed Galápagos Islands — a remote Pacific archipelago famous for its fearless wildlife, including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. The Galápagos in particular attract nature lovers, divers, and snorkellers seeking encounters with species found nowhere else on Earth.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Peru & Ecuador (Galápagos) 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."
