When it comes to Ecuador most people only think of the Galapagos Islands, which makes what awaits you on the mainland even more special. Spectacular natural wonders, including some of the tallest volcanoes in the world and a big slice of Amazonian rainforest, are complimented by an enduring indigenous identity that is deeply woven into the fabric of this extraordinary nation.

We’ve found that the beauty of this unique country really reveals itself in unexpected moments, when a break in the clouds opens up vistas of snow-capped mountains or an iridescent hummingbird joins you for breakfast. Whether you’re strolling through an indigenous market with one of our passionate and knowledgeable guides, galloping over the foothills of volcanoes with local cowboys, relaxing at a characterful family-owned small hotel or exploring the Amazon with an Amerindian guide who will open your eyes to the secrets of the jungle, Ecuador exudes a strong identity and sense of place that will truly transport you to a new world.

All About Ecuador

  • Best Time To Travel

    Best time to visit: Dec - Apr
    Andes: Oct is the driest season offering the best views, however it is cooler. Nov - Apr is warmer but wetter with lots of cloud cover obstructing the views.
    The Amazon: Jul & Aug bring the most rain but the Amazon really is a year round destination.
