Succumb to the magic and beauty of Ecuador on this epic tour, from Quito to the Galápagos Islands and Amazon rainforest, incl. excursions and travel
For a once-in-a-lifetime getaway, jam-packed with natural wonders and unexpected thrills at every turn, pack your bags for this full-blown Ecuadorian experience. Whisking you from the capital city Quito, to Santa Cruz on the surreal Galápagos Islands, and into the depths of the Amazon rainforest, this trip is a guaranteed adventure worth writing home about.
Armed with your camera and a thirst for discovery, you'll immerse yourself in the Galápagos way of life on a guided Santa Cruz discovery tour, which includes a stop at the Charles Darwin Research Station; you'll also join a colonial tour of Quito's rich historical heart, take an enchanting night-time stroll into the depths of the Amazon, and even visit the world-famous "Middle of the World". Adding to these, you'll have the option to include a flurry of exciting excursions as part of your itinerary - from scenic waterfall walks to an educational chocolate-making session. These activities will have your senses on an all-time high, but worry not - you'll have plenty of time to explore each stop at your leisure, and to simply unwind in comfortable hotels along the way.
