Small in stature, yet abundant in its offerings, enchanting Ecuador is one of South America’s most sensational attractions.

A must-see destination for any adventure traveller, Ecuador is filled-to-the-brim with a vibrant culture that still guards its pre-Incan and Spanish roots. A dramatic patchwork of landscapes awaits.

Here, visitors can explore the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, navigate their way around one of the country’s many volcanoes, put one foot on each side of the equator, don their explorer’s hat to travel deep within the Amazon, unwind on a pristine beach and, the highlight of any Ecuadorian itinerary, embark on an unforgettable cruise to the ecologically diverse Galapagos Islands.

Your journey could begin in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Quito, the charming capital of Ecuador perched high in the Andes. Meander through the exquisite Old Town, a treasure trove of museums, churches, monuments, plazas and lush parks. Indulge your sweet spot with decadent chocolate tastings, stroll on forested trails with spectacular volcano and valley views and treat yourself to beautifully crafted handcrafts, ponchos, ceramics and artisan chocolate at bustling markets.

The next leg of your journey takes you to the ‘living laboratory’ of the Galápagos Islands. Made famous by Charles Darwin the marine life and spectacular landscape are like nothing else on earth. 19 islands that resemble moonlike terrain, interspersed with rugged vegetation are home to pristine beaches and flourishing populations of marine iguanas, sea lions, giant tortoises and an exceptional array of birds such as the blue-footed booby, frigate bird and the flightless cormorant.
