Ecuador Holidays + Galapagos Cruise + Amazon Tours + Quito (also vacations to Peru)
Our Ecuador holidays explore one of the smallest countries in South America, but its diversity, natural beauty and its people are exceptional. This hospitable place takes its name from the equator which runs through the north of the country, close to the capital of Quito.
A Galapagos Cruise is the reason most people visit this beautiful country, but do leave enough time for tours of Quito and its nearby cloud forest, which is a magnet for birders. Specialist birding tours can be found in the Quito & Cloud Forest sub-region (see side navigation). You can also visit the indigenous market at Otavalo and explore the Avenue of the Volcanoes with its traditional culture and beautiful snow-capped mountains.
Amazon tours are also fascinating, as these rainforests can be reached by light aircraft from Quito, with onward boat transfer deep into the Amazon Basin. Ecuador holidays combine well with vacations to Peru and neighbouring Colombia.
The volcanic Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean are a two hour flight away and this world famous haven for birds and marine life has to be seen to be believed on Ecuador holidays. Giant tortoises, land and marine iguana and blue footed boobies are just a few of their 'Big 15' which live and breed here in total safety, oblivious to the constant flow of visitors. Each Galapagos cruise stops at a different island every day, with a few live-aboard options for scuba divers at one of the best dive sites on earth.
Combine your ideas with our expertise and let us help you create a holiday of a lifetime. We offer a wide range of options at different price points, all of which can be tailor made to your needs.
We have been arranging Ecuador holidays, Galapagos cruise, Amazon tours, Quito & vacations to Peru for over 20 years.
ALL OUR ECUADOR HOLIDAYS, GALAPAGOS CRUISE, AMAZON TOURS, QUITO & VACATIONS TO PERU ARE FINANCIALLY PROTECTED wherever in the world you live.

More information on Ecuador holidays, Galapagos cruise, Amazon tours, Quito & vacations to Peru:
Quito is the starting point of most Ecuador holidays, with its World Heritage old town centre and busy but friendly market atmosphere. At 2,850 metres above sea level it is one of the highest capital cities in the world, with views of the Andes to match. On tours to Quito & vacations, don’t miss the impressive monument at La Mitad del Mundo (the Middle of the World) at latitude zero, with its interesting cultural museum situated on the equator.
To the south of Quito two parallel chains of mountains, the Avenue of the Volcanoes, stretch for over three hundred miles towards the pretty colonial town of Cuenca. On Ecuador holidays & tours this area is a favourite spot for walking, riding and climbing. Eight of Ecuador’s ten highest peaks are found here, including Tungurahua, and the perfect volcanic cones of Cotapaxi and Chimborazo. Horse riding vacations in this region are also popular.
In most South America countries, the Amazon jungle is never far away and Ecuador holidays are no exception, as it occupies the entire eastern half of the country. The best way to experience this extraordinary environment is to stay in one of lodges found in the national parks, which come with expert guides. On Amazon tours, the higher altitude cloud forests and lower altitude rainforests are astonishing in their biodiversity and sheer abundance of colourful tropical birdlife and jungle wildlife, so be prepared for some early starts, take your wet gear and get ready for the experience of a lifetime!
For somewhere completely different on Ecuador holidays, the vibrant port town of Guayaquil on the Pacific coast is a revelation. This commercial hub and university city has seen massive investment and the river front, lively bars and cafes, growing arts scene, not to mention the fabulous seafood, make this an up and coming go-to place before or after your Galapagos cruise.
Like their neighbours in Peru and Colombia, the people of Ecuador are warm and welcoming, with the Andes and the Amazon provide a link between these three unique and beautiful countries. Why not combine your Ecuador holidays, Galapagos cruise or Amazon tours with a visit to one or both of them, while you are in this unforgettable part of the world? A highlight of vacations to Peru is the spectacular Inca citadel at Machu Picchu.
