about Ecuador

Deciding whether you want sun-drenched beaches, artisanal markets, Amazonian rainforests, Andean adventure activities, or historical old town walks on a holiday might be a nice decision to make. But it’s still a hard decision, so if decision making isn’t your forte than Ecuador has you covered. You can stroll around Quito and marvel at the seventeenth-century churches and architecture in impeccable knick, climb up Cotopaxi – one of the highest active volcanoes in the world – shop for local handicrafts at Otavalo Market and, of course, venture offshore to the unforgettable Galápagos Islands to get that sought-after bucket list tick. Top it all off with some of the friendliest locals in the world and you’ll be wishing Ecuador were an option in every life decision you had to make.
