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

Based on 66 customer reviews
Great trip through under explored Ecuador
4 - Very Good
  • Anonymous
“Wonderful and informative trip through Ecuador. Well worth the longer than usual flight ! Beautiful landscapes and heaps of variety in a compact country. Especially enjoyed the Andes chain, Amazon basin rainforest, friendly people and markets.”
Excellent Ecuador
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“Ecuador is an amazing place to visit with a diverse geography. It means every day of a two week holiday is varied and interesting. With our great guide and driver we managed to go from nearly 5000m to sea level with lots of other scenery and activities along the way.”
Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This truly was a holiday of a lifetime and we would have no hesitation in recommending anybody from 20's to resonably fit 70's to go on this holiday with this tour company. The age range of our group was 30 to 71 and we gelled together very well, p[robably partly because of the quality and variation of the tour, with many group activities but time for space if you needed it. Machu Picchu is amazing but then gets trumped by the Galapagos and being on the Cachalote, a schooner with only 16 births, was a huge bonus. Lovely crew, great boat and we went places that others sometimes didn't so had bays, snorkelling and some walks all to ourselves. The organisation was excellent, hotels comfortable with a good breakfast and the experience unforgetable. It was our first time with this operator but hopefully not the last.”
