Marvels of Ecuador
This trip is a wonderful introduction to Ecuador's amazing diversity in landscapes, climates and cultures. Only a few hours north of Quito are villages and markets, snow-capped volcanoes and outdoor activities. From the Galapagos, to spectacular coasts, the majestic Andesthe mystique of the Amazon and colonial cities, this tour suggestion allows you to sample the highlights of this gorgeous country in a short period of time.

Quito, with its well preserved colonial centre, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This charming capital has a spring-like climate and is surrounded by fairytale mountains, and with its myriad luxury hotels, is an excellent base for explorations to the rest of the country. On this tour egin by visiting a geobotanical reserve just outside of Quito. Stop at the Equator monument before continuing on to the hummingbird reserve. Explore the famed Otavalo market, and stay overnight at a historical hacienda. We only take authentic trails far off the packaged visits that have become a mainstay in Ecuadorian tourism. During a five-day overland excursion you will be touching the magnificent and verdant landscapes, authentic indigenous markets and an amazing array of biodiversity in both cloud forests and high altitudes of the Andes.
