Ecuador Explorer Programmes

Start your journey in the colonial city of Quito and explore the beautifully preserved 'Old Town' before visiting the traditional Indian market in the town of Otavalo. Continue your journey by trekking in the mountains; you may choose to hike in the high Andes and journey to the dramatic Inca ruins of Ingapirca or, alternatively, you may wish to explore the Western cordillera before travelling to the East of the country where you will appreciate the exceptional flora and fauna of the Amazon rainforest.
