ECUADOR TOURS

About Ecuador

Our wildlife adventure specialists at Wildfoot are experts in Ecuador travel and our itineraries to this spectacular destination are focused on showing you the most authentic people, places, animals, landscape and culture. There is so much to see and do in this wonderfully diverse country, from pristine beaches to highland rainforests, and from the magnificent Andes Mountains to UNESCO-protected cities. It really is a place like no other.

So named because of its geographical position straddling the equator, Ecuador’s compact but extremely varied landscape encompasses the Amazon Basin, the rainforests, cloud forests and volcanoes of the spine of the country, the Andes, the Pacific coastal plain and the Galapagos Archipelago cities such as Quito and Cuenca, with their colonial heritage. While the culture is rich, so too is the wildlife and the country is a particular magnet for birdwatchers.

The landscape offers an open invitation to activities like hiking, cycling, horseback riding and water sports, while as the gateway to the Galapagos Islands, opportunities to encounter the unique animals, marine life and birds of the region both on the mainland and off the coast abound.

Whether you want to go it alone on a self-driving adventure, or see and do it all on one of our combo trips (incorporating a Galapagos cruise), dealing with people who have actually been there themselves means that their insight will help you create the perfect holiday.
