Luxury Ecuador Holiday Ideas

Ecuador, which is roughly the size of the UK, manages to package up all the best bits of South America. Our tailor-made Ecuador holiday ideas offer a variety of diverse landscapes and culture: from colonial splendour in Quito and Cuenca, the snow-capped Avenue of the Volcanoes, cosy haciendas and hotels, bustling Indian markets such as Otavalo and the cloud forests and Amazon teeming with wildlife… and that’s before we’ve even mentioned the astonishing Galapagos Islands. Combined with plenty of adventure and activities, a holiday in Ecuador and the Galapagos offers the trip of a lifetime!

Sonia, Ecuador expert: “What I love about Ecuador is its biodiversity and multi-ethnic culture. Such a small country with lots to offer: from the Andes to the Amazon.”

• The Galapagos Islands: Unquestionably our favourite South American destination to experience wildlife up close: think snorkelling with sealions and lumbering giant tortoises and birds galore. We can tailor your holiday to the Galapagos so that you either cruise around the islands or stay on dry land and island hop.

• Diversity of landscape: Ecuador packs a large punch for a small nation when it comes to different landscapes: in a few hours you can travel from its Pacific beaches to the Ecuadorean Amazon, from the Cloud Forest to volcanoes and throw in visits to some gorgeous colonial villages and towns into the mix.

• Indigenous culture and heritage: From its Inca archaeological site Ingapirca to present day Amazonian tribes and the Quichua population of the Ecuadorean highlands, on your holiday, you will witness how Ecuador’s traditions have changed little over the centuries.

• Outdoor activities: From incredible scuba diving in the Galapagos, to rafting, mountain biking, mountaineering in the Avenue of the Volcanoes, horseback riding, hiking, we can tailor-make an adventure holiday to Ecuador that will satisfy any adrenaline junky.

• Wildlife: From the Galapagos to the teeming jungles of the Amazon and Cloud Forests such as Mindo. For its size, Ecuador is one of the planet’s most biologically diverse countries.
