A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME HOLIDAY
From the winding mountain trails of the Andes in Ecuador to the extraordinary array of wildlife across the enchanted isles of the Galapagos Islands, a holiday to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands is unlike anything on earth.
A trip to Ecuador is so much more than a gateway to the Galapagos Islands. Begin your journey in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Quito, the former capital of the Inca Empire, before visiting the countless market towns like Otavalo that are full of handmade crafts and trekking through the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest in search of a vast array of wildlife including giant otters, spider monkeys, jaguars and the rare pink river dolphin. No Ecuador holiday is complete without a hiking trip in the Andean highlands to the emerald green lake of Quilotoa and through the snow-capped Avenue of Volcanoes.
Lying 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador is the infamous Galapagos Islands, home to some of the most remarkable wildlife both on land and sea. Aside from the renowned giant tortoises of the Galapagos that have been roaming the islands for over two million years, you will have plenty of opportunities to see up-close the diverse array of wildlife including green sea turtles laying their eggs, marine iguanas changing colour as they moult, sea lions playing on the beach as well as the ritual mating dance of the blue-footed booby.
The best way to visit the ‘Enchanted Isles’ is with a Galapagos Islands cruise, but there are hotels on the islands for those who wish to stay on land. When combining a voyage to these remote islands with a holiday to the small and beautiful country of Ecuador, you will be promised one of the best off the beaten path holidays in the world.
