Ecuador nestles at the northern end of the South-American Andes and the western end of the Amazon. This tour takes us up mountains, along volcanoes, through beautiful valleys and indigenous settlements where time stands still. Experience the humid jungles, colourful markets, stunning beaches and buzzing cities Ecuador has to offer.
Ecuador
  • • Quito Our journey starts in Quito, the beautiful capital of Ecuador where, at almost 3000 metres, 16th century and Incan ruins sit side-by-side with colonial mansions. We’ll stroll among its narrow alleys, markets, monasteries, and baroque churches around the central square. «
  • • Riobamba and market Guamote We travel to Riobamba, visiting the country's highest inactive volcano, Chimborazo, surrounded by a lunar landscape formed by the strong winds. The next day we’ll experience pure-bred indigenous culture at the market in Guamote. «
  • • Saturday market at Otavalo Otavalo is an Indian town with beautiful scenery including impressive volcanoes and deep blue lakes. There are also villages whose people specialise in crafts such as the leather-makers of Cotacachi and the wood-carvers of San Antonio de Ibarra. «
  • • Devil's Nose and Guayaquil After a spectacular train-ride along the Devil’s Nose to historic Cuenca, we explore the Cajas National Park renowned for its toucans, hummingbirds, condor, puma and spectacled bears. Your next stop is Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest, liveliest and most chaotic city. «
  • • World's highest active volcano Visit the world's highest active volcano, the beautiful glacier-covered cone-shaped Cotopaxi, at almost 6,000 metres. Enjoy the National Park’s wind-swept landscapes, a nearby glacier and admire the snow-capped peaks of Ecuador’s Avenue of the Volcanoes. «
  • • Boobies and albatrosses A visit to the coastal fishing town of Puerto Lopez will provided a much needed beach-break. Sail to Isla de la Plata, famous for its frigate birds, boobies and albatrosses. Humpback whales visit from June to September too! «
