Ecuador Solo Travel 2024/2025
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!
