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!

Ecuador Solo Trip Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 62 customer reviews
Ecuador- north to south
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“A beautiful trip taking in a huge variety of climates, scenery, sights and places. The two weeks is jampacked full of activities for wildlife and walking lovers who are looking for a trip that isn't solely focused on trekking. I would definitely suggest an interest in flora and fauna. The accommodation is fantastic with a couple of amazing haciendas. However, due to remote locations, if you're looking for super night life then this is not the trip for you. I had a fab time and it was a brilliant introduction to South America. I travelled solo with a shared room and it worked out really well- I would recommend this trip for a moderately active but also relaxing experience. The travel is split up well by fun stops and things to do.”
Amazing Ecuador
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“If it's variety you're after, in one country, with no worries about getting around, this is the trip to choose. Every day brings something different, whether at fairly high altitude in the snowy peaks of Chimborazo National Park or the sultry heat of the Amazon basin. Breathtaking scenery between the destinations, coupled with stops in quaint market towns en route, mean the travelling is never hard work. The local people you meet and perhaps buy goods from are also friendly and welcoming.”
Small country packs a punch!
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“For a small country Ecuador offers so much, mountains, rainforest jungle, coastal plains, cultural, wildlife and fantastic scenery. It often seems that people overlook Ecuador in favour of the more showy blousy delights of Brazil or the world famous sites of Peru and just stay for a couple of days on their way to Galapagos, well that is a real shame as they are missing a load. I would quite happily go back and do this trip over again.”
