About the trip

This Ecuador Family Journey with G Adventures navigates a slice of South America rich with contrasting landscapes and cultures over eight nights. The trip starts in Quito with visits to the Yaku Water Museum and the Mitad del Mundo, where you can stand astride the equator at the Intiñan museum. Lunch overlooking Pululahua Volcano’s crater brings a moment of calm before heading on.

After the city, the pace shifts to the Amazon, with three nights in a jungle lodge near Tena. Days here are spent on wildlife walks and river tubing, with ample chances to meet local Kichwa families and see endemic plants and animals beneath the rainforest canopy. Back from the jungle, the Papallacta hot springs resort provides a welcome chance to soak and relax.

Throughout, G Adventures provides a small-group experience guided by two National Geographic Expedition Leaders, blending cultural history with nature and hands-on activities. It is a holiday clearly designed to engage families traveling together, with moments to balance education and restless energy under the canopy’s shade.
