Adventure Travel Ecuador

Ecuador has an array of vibrant indigenous peoples, well-preserved colonial architecture, otherworldly volcanic landscapes and dense rainforest.

From the capital at Quito, you are no more than a day´s travel from a jungle tour or wildlife photography tours through Amazon jungles, trekking up the slope of an active volcano, a sociable haggle with indigenous artesanos or a guided snorkeling tour along a tropical beach.

Somewhat more distant are the Galapagos Islands. Owned by Ecuador since 1832, the Galapagos are lauded as one of the world´s greatest natural history treasures, their unique diversity of plant and animal life living laboratory for scientists and casual observers alike.
