Ecuador captivates travelers above all with its breathtaking natural beauty and the warmth of its people. Even Alexander von Humboldt was fascinated by the country’s uniqueness. This journey takes you from the capital city of Quito to bird sanctuaries, crater lakes, and picturesque villages in the lush highlands. You will discover age-old traditions and handicrafts, watch hummingbirds and condors, and marvel at the precision with which the Tsáchila determined the equator line in Quitsato over 1,000 years ago.
On the Galapagos Islands, you will immerse yourself in the archipelago’s incomparable wildlife, encountering giant tortoises and sea lions, frigatebirds and land iguanas. The trip concludes with a visit to Cuenca, one of South America’s most beautiful colonial cities – a stylish finale to an unforgettable journey.
You will stay in carefully selected accommodations, stylish boutique hotels, and historic haciendas with charm. During the first days, you will be traveling at altitudes between 2,500 and 3,000 meters above sea level. The day trip to Antisana National Park (on Day 8) takes you up to approx. 4,000 meters. The program ensures a gradual acclimatization, so healthy travelers should not experience any restrictions.
