Tailor-made holidays in Ecuador

Ecuador, which is roughly the size of the UK, manages to package up all the best bits of Latin America. From the colonial splendour of UNESCO protected Quito and Cuenca, to its towering snow-capped volcanoes, cosy haciendas, bustling Indian markets, Inca heritage and cloud and rainforests brimming with some 25,000 plant species and nearly 1600 bird species… and that’s before we’ve even mentioned the astonishing Galapagos Islands. Not surprising then that measured by square mile, it is the most biologically-diverse country on the planet.

Nowhere is very far away in Ecuador, on any day of the year you can reach glaciers, snow, jungle, mountains, volcanoes, moorland, beaches etc… One moment you can be in the heart of the Amazon, the next standing in view of an active volcano in the Cotopaxi National Park. And you’re never that far away from the Equator.

500 miles off the coast of Ecuador are the amazing Galapagos Islands. Their flora and fauna developed in isolation and subsequently gave Charles Darwin a unique window into the evolutionary process.

Modern-day wildlife enthusiasts will find the islands (actually the peaks of underwater volcanoes) enchanting; having never learned to fear humans, the copious animal species are extraordinarily approachable and interaction with curious sealion pups and comical blue-footed Boobies is one of life’s most priceless experiences.

Visas
Travellers with British Passports (the machine-readable type) do not need visas for Ecuador, but ensure that your passport has at least 6 months to run from the your departure date.

When to go
Ecuador can be visited all year round. Though not large, there is great variety in the climate, determined by altitude. A popular time to travel is between June and September. Due to its location at the equator, Ecuador experiences little variation in daylight hours during the course of a year. Dusk is around 6 pm all year round.

Getting There
It takes more or less 15 hours to get to Ecuador. Don’t focus on the journey length, just jump on the plane and you will be rewarded by a stunning country with enormous variety. We can recommend either Iberia, KLM and Air France from regional UK airports with a change of planes in Europe to Quito or Guayaquil or fly to Miami and down to Quito with British Airways and American Airlines.

The Galapagos islands are accessed by air from Quito and Guayaquil on mainland Ecuador.
