About the trip
This G Adventures small group tour starts with a lodge stay deep in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, where the chatter of monkeys and nightly jungle hums provide a natural soundtrack. You'll bike through a local community to understand chocolate making from bean to bar before heading on to Baños, known for its hot springs and a selection of outdoor activities from hikes to canyon swings. The journey concludes with a visit to Quilotoa, where a crater lake's turquoise waters reflect the volcanic rim – with the option to paddle across if you fancy.
Accommodation alternates between hotels, eco-friendly inns, and community lodges, highlighting the emphasis on sustainable stays and cultural encounters. The group is led by a CEO, with local guides enriching specific visits. There's a balance between included activities and free time in Tena, Baños, Quilotoa, and Quito, providing space to take in the surroundings at your own pace.
While some parts involve climbing stairs in smaller properties and the active Tungurahua volcano near Baños requires caution, the itinerary offers a considered mix of nature, culture, and gentle adventure. It’s a chance to observe Ecuador beyond its headline sights without the rush of a forced schedule.
