Being one of the smallest countries in South America, Ecuador often gets overlooked but for a country that is less than 3% of the size of the US, it packs a massive punch!
In just under two weeks you will stay in a 5* hotel in the beautiful colonial capital of Quito, experience one of National Geographic's ‘Unique Lodge's of the World’ in the Ecuadorian cloud-forest and end with six-nights in the Galapagos Islands, splitting your time between an expedition cruise and a stunning hotel on the coast of Santa Cruz Island.
See the churches and cobbled streets which have led Quito to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Venture into the steamy cloud-forest, one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet and home to Mashpi Lodge, featured in the BBC television show ‘Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby’, before ending with six nights in the majestic Galapagos Islands. Swim with sea-lions and turtles, kayak with Galapagos penguins and discover giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies in their natural setting. Before flying home, relax, unwind and reflect at the beautiful Finch Bay hotel.
Experience some of the diversity this country has to offer, staying in some of the most comfortable accommodation available whilst being looked after by our expert naturalist guides.
