Ecuador & The Galapagos Islands

Whilst the country of Ecuador may be small in size, it is home to some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife in the whole of South America. The Andes mountain range provides the backbone of the country as well as provides excellent trekking opportunities up its volcanic ridges and magnificent alpine vistas. Quito, the world’s highest capital city, will literally take your breath away with its Latin charm, whilst the UNESCO-listed Cuenca is the gateway to the Amazon rainforest, which houses much of the country’s fascinating biodiversity.

Away from the mainland, the mythical Galapagos Islands contain some of the world’s most unique natural animal life, with sea lions, seals, albatrosses, cormorants and the famous giant tortoises all to be explored in an unspoiled paradise.
