Where Our Ecuador Tours Can Take You
The Galápagos Islands – Wildlife Like Nowhere Else
The Galapagos Islands unfold before your eyes, where you’ll swim alongside playful sea lions, sea turtles, and marine iguanas, unique in the world. Snorkeling will reveal an underwater world of sharks, rays, and brightly colored tropical fish.
Our luxury cruises navigate between the archipelago’s most spectacular islands, and all our tours to the Galapagos include naturalist guides certified by the National Park, guaranteeing a deep and respectful informative experience on the Islands.
The Amazon Rainforest – Deep into the Jungle
The Ecuadorian Amazon, the planet’s lungs, you’ll navigate winding rivers in local canoes, entering territories where time seems to have stopped. You’ll visit indigenous communities like the Achuar, Shuar, and Kichwa, who will share their ancestral knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
The Amazon is an enchanting place for wildlife observation. During your tours to Ecuador, you’ll spot jaguars, tapirs, caimans, pink dolphins, and more than 1,500 bird species in their natural habitat.
The Andes – Volcanoes, Markets & Culture
The majestic Andes Mountain Range challenges you with volcanic landscapes like the imposing Cotopaxi, one of the world’s highest active volcanoes. You can visit the indigenous market of Otavalo, which is full of colors, textures, and aromas, where artisans weave each poncho and tapestry.
On the other hand, Quilotoa Lagoon will hypnotize you with its emerald waters inside a volcanic crater, and colonial cities like Cuenca, with their perfectly preserved architecture, have been declared World Heritage Sites.
Quito – Colonial Charm & Modern Vibes
The Ecuadorian capital, Quito, has the best-preserved historic center in Latin America. It transports you to colonial times with golden baroque churches and cobblestone squares that have witnessed revolutions and celebrations.
The Middle of the World literally places you on the equatorial line, where you can have one foot in each hemisphere. In this place, physics defies your imagination. The city’s viewpoints offer spectacular panoramic views of Quito, as Andean volcanoes surround it.
Pacific Coast – Beaches & Surf Towns
On Ecuador’s Pacific coast is Montañita, a place that has become an international surfers’ paradise. It has perfect waves and a relaxed atmosphere with a mix of party and adventure.
You can also visit Puerto López, which is the gateway for humpback whale watching. Between June and September, humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to reproduce in these tropical waters. You can also enjoy its beautiful white sand beaches.
What You Can Do on an Ecuador Tour
Hike Active Volcanoes like Cotopaxi & Chimborazo
Conquer the Andean volcanoes on challenging treks that take you to glaciers that touch the sky. Cotopaxi and Chimborazo offer extraordinary high-altitude landscapes where each step connects you deeply with the purest nature during your Ecuador trip.
Visit Colorful Indigenous Markets in Otavalo
Immerse yourself in the largest and most vibrant indigenous market in South America. Otavalo explodes with colorful textiles, Andean music, and authentic crafts created by masters who keep millennial traditions alive. Take home a great souvenir that will last you many years.

Enjoy Eco-Lodges in the Heart of the Amazon
Live the full tropical rainforest experience in sustainable eco-lodges that combine comfort, environmental respect, and luxury. Wake up to jungle sounds and sleep under the Amazonian nocturnal symphony while discovering a whole hidden world of nature.
Ecuadorian Food You Can’t Miss
Ecuador is a gastronomic paradise. Each region has its typical dishes with unique flavors and culinary traditions. The country’s diverse geography creates a rich culinary identity that travelers quickly fall in love with. To fully experience the best Ecuadorian food, exploring these regional specialties is just as important as visiting its iconic landscapes.
Pacific Coast Delights
On the Ecuadorian coast, you can taste the rich ceviche, a dish that combines fish, shrimp, or shellfish, accompanied by crispy plantain chips. You also can’t miss the encebollado, the soul of the coast, a comforting soup of albacore fish, yuca, and onion.
Andean Traditions from the Highlands
The Andes contribute the delicious hornado, a whole pig slowly roasted and served with potato tortillas, hominy, and hot pepper. And for those cold nights in the highlands, locro de papa, a thick cream of native potatoes with fresh cheese.
Amazonian Secrets from the Jungle
The Amazon offers more exotic flavors, such as maito, fish wrapped in bijou leaves and grilled over coals, or chicha de yuca, a fermented drink that Indigenous communities have prepared for centuries following ancestral rituals.
Our Ecuador tours include immersive gastronomic experiences beyond traditional meals with Ecuador private tours. You’ll be able to explore colorful markets like Quito’s Central Market or Cuenca’s 10 de Agosto Market, where local aromas and flavors envelop you during your gastronomic visit.
