Ecuador Solo Travel 2023/2024

Ecuador is an excellent choice for solo travel. It’s not a very big country and the prospect of a solo trip in Ecuador, alone or with a group of strangers, is not intimidating if you’re adventurous. Unlike larger South American countries like Brazil and Argentina, the travel time between places in Ecuador is minimal, so you have more time to enjoy your final destination. One of the best aspects of solo travel in Ecuador is meeting other like-minded travelers, potentially making friends for life. You can’t do a solo Ecuador private tour without exploring Quito and its Old Town, filled with lovely churches, chapels and monasteries. Other must-visits during Ecuador customized tours include Cotopaxi National Park (known for its striking volcanic terrain), Otavalo (the best place to buy indigenous textiles), the Amazon for an authentic jungle experience, and birdwatching in the Mindo cloud forests. If you’re looking for a uniquely rewarding experience in Ecuador, travel solo!

Ecuador Solo Trip Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 77 customer reviews
Amazing!
5 - Excellent
  • Victoria Dent
“I loved my trip here! I was well taken care of and we did lots of unique & fun things! I loved being able to get so up close and personal with the animals (but not too close), have my trip planned out for me and someone to pick me up from my nice hotels every morning, and a day to explore or do what I wanted.”
Priced well
4 - Very Good
  • Andrew Christopher
“Galapagos can certainly be done for more expensively. This was priced well and I appreciated the peace of mind having all transfers handled. A little too much travel. I think I might eliminate one island and have more time on 2 islands”
Galapagos on the Cachalote
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“We spent two weeks on the Cachalote exploring the many islands of the Galapagos. Overall, the trip was very good with a couple of exceptions. 1. We had one afternoon in a town with nothing to do except sit in a bar - we were told we could swim in the sea, but it was very rough. (According to the trip notes, we could have visited a Giant tortoise breeding centre, but we were not given that option). 2. On the changeover day (between itineraries) we had to waste a few hours in Puerta Ayora. However, we did expect this.”
