Ecuador 360°: from the Andes to the Amazon
The trip in a nutshell
From the Andes to the depths of the Amazon jungle, this 11-day journey will take you beyond your expectations. We'll venture through the streets of Quito, hike in Cotopaxi National Park, home to one of the world's largest active volcanoes, and admire the crystal-clear waters of Laguna Quilotoa (just to name a few of the epic adventures included in this trip). But it's not just about nature and landscapes; we'll also delve deep into the culture and traditions of this small but extraordinary country, and we're certain you won't want to leave! So, brush up on your Spanish and join us on this unforgettable journey!
