Ecuador
Ecuador invites you into a journey woven with Andean tradition, Amazonian wonder, and vibrant local culture. From exploring Quito’s historic heart and standing at the famed Middle of the World to wandering the colorful stalls of the Otavalo market, the highlands set the tone with deep heritage and sweeping volcanic landscapes. Adventure builds as you zipline through Baños, marvel at the thundering Pailón del Diablo, and step into the lush gateway of the Amazon. Days in Punta Ahuano immerse you in rainforest life—hiking jungle trails, meeting an Amazonian family, drifting along serene rivers, rafting the lively Jatun Yacu, and so much more.
