Ecuador Tours
If there were a country that reflected all of South America in one place, it would have to be Ecuador. This magnificent country, though small, has a spectacular array of wonders, including the great Amazon rainforest, the Andean spine lined with 30 volcanoes, colonial cities, a rich Incan heritage, vibrant Indian markets and a remarkable coastline. Far out in the Pacific lies Ecuador’s distant possession: the renowned Galapagos Islands. This is the most biodiverse country in the world, housing over 50 different ecosystems. This makes for incredible bird watching, and exciting activities in the wilderness, including hiking up the tallest volcano on the planet, kayaking through Amazonian rapids, horseback riding across the Equatorial line, surfing big Pacific swells, swimming with penguins, and more!
