Summary

It’s quite poetic that Ecuador is the centre of this big, beautiful planet of ours. In so few kilometres, the peaks of the Andes, the jungles of the Amazon, and historical cities all have some square footage here and with this 14-day journey you can see some of it all. Learn about the traditional Quichua culture in the Amazon, find treasures at a local handicraft market, and later slip into a world of “ahh” in a mountain hot spring.

  • Our guide Elmer, made our visit to Ecuador informative and fun. We were kept fully informed of the timings of our daily activities. He seemed to effortlessly have everything under control. It suited me that many activities were optional. Visiting the Amazon jungle was a highlight!

  • The two week trip gave a balanced and interesting insight to inland Equador. The Amazon jungle home-stay is something to be remembered. Traveling on public buses is an experience in itself! Our guide, Elmer was friendly, super efficient and made everything run like clockwork. Good value and the trip itinerary gives all the finer details so you know what to expect
