Cultural Ecuador tours

Meanwhile, a cultural holiday to Ecuador might have you discovering picturesque Andean towns like Cuenca and Otavalo, where you can immerse yourself in busy markets and traditional music workshops, meeting friendly locals along the way. Then, there’s so much more to the port city of Guayaquil than you would expect, including superb waterfront restaurants, and any tour of Ecuador is enriched with a visit to the capital, Quito. This remarkable city flaunts an exquisite UNESCO-listed Old Town, graced with exceptional colonial architecture and its own share of fine dining restaurants.

Ecuador wildlife trips

Of course, Ecuador has another enviable string to its bow: incredible biodiversity. Get up close to the most unique wildlife in the world on the Galapagos Islands, an astounding archipelago emerging dramatically from the Pacific Ocean, home to endemic plants and animals that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Meet Marine Iguanas, Giant Tortoises and Blue-footed Boobies on nature walks; or swim with Galapagos Sharks, Sea Turtles and Sea Lions on snorkelling and diving adventures. There are so many fascinating creatures in this amazing archipelago, you simply have to witness them first-hand. Then, considered to be one of the world’s most biodiverse places, the Ecuadorian Amazon teems with awe-inspiring flora and fauna from top to toe. This majestic rainforest is sprawled over the eastern side of Ecuador, making up a huge proportion of the overall country with its thriving plant and wildlife; a truly unmissable highlight of this already exquisite South American gem.
