Ecuador
Ecuador is a little-known gem of a country in the heart of South America. A country less than twice the size of England, few can match its diverse range of habitats and rich wildlife. According to the World Resource Institute, Ecuador is one of the few countries on earth categorized as "megadiverse" owing to its wide variety of ecosystems and species.
To give you but a few statistics, it contains over 15% of the world's bird species and hosts 10% of all known plants. Ecuador is also home to one of the strongest indigenous cultures in South America and some of the Andes oldest and most colourful markets. For the more adventurous it offers spectacular light trekking, mountain biking and horseback riding amidst the snowcapped peaks of the Andes.
We have included a selection of tailor made trips for each of Ecuador's regions to give a taste of what is on offer, though they can be adapted to suit your individual interests, timing and budget.
All of our tailor-made Ecuador extensions are designed to be combined with your trip to the Galapagos and/or with each other, and can be taken virtually year round thanks to Ecuador’s location on the Equator.
Our team on the ground in Ecuador will take care of you from the minute you arrive, from meeting you at the airport, to showing you hidden corners of the country and everything in between.
