About the trip
This eight-night trip with G Adventures offers a varied route through Ecuador, from an historic hacienda in the highlands to the lush Amazon jungle. Starting in Otavalo, known for its handicraft market, travellers can learn traditional weaving techniques before journeying to the Amazon basin, where two nights in a jungle lodge spell an immersive rainforest experience.
The itinerary includes a hike through Cotopaxi National Park with views of the towering Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. Another stop is the Jardín Botánico Las Orquídeas near Puyo, where the diverse local flora unfolds, alongside a community lunch in Otavalo that connects visitors with indigenous culture. The final night is spent at a hot springs resort, a chance to rest weary limbs in mineral-rich waters.
Accompanied by a National Geographic Expedition Leader and local guides, the small-group tour involves various modes of transport, including private vans and a motorized canoe. It's not a holiday for those seeking flawless schedules—weather and circumstances in the Amazon can adjust plans—but it rewards patience with genuine encounters and landscapes that shift from mountain air to rainforest humidity.
