About the trip
This 15-day escorted tour by G Adventures covers Ecuador’s diverse landscapes, beginning with the high-altitude hiking trails of Cotopaxi National Park. The park is home to the Cotopaxi volcano, where the air thins and views extend to snow-capped peaks.
Then the group heads into the Amazon basin, paddling along the Napo River to a lodge tucked within the rainforest canopy. Here, kayaking on the river and visiting a local family bring insights into indigenous life beneath the dense treetops. After a stopover in Quito, the final leg ventures to the Galápagos Islands, where snorkelling amid volcanic formations at Los Túneles and meeting giant land tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Station offer familiar yet remarkable encounters.
Between hot springs in Papallacta and cycling from La Suiza to Baños, the itinerary balances adventure with downtime. Travel involves local flights and varied transport modes, while group sizes rarely exceed a dozen, ensuring a personable pace throughout the itinerary.
