Itinerary

Ecuador: From the Andes to the Pacific Ocean offers an exhilarating journey through a land bursting with contrasts. Starting in the heights of the Andes, this 9-day guided tour takes you along the legendary Avenue of the Volcanoes, with stops at Cotopaxi National Park and the stunning Cuicocha Lake. Dive into indigenous markets to gain an authentic view of Andean life, then marvel at the colonial elegance of Quito, Ecuador’s capital.

The adventure continues through the Northern Sierra, where shimmering lakes and vibrant artisan villages paint a vivid portrait of local culture. The Central Sierra, famed as the Avenue of Volcanoes, reveals Inca ruins and breathtaking natural wonders before you descend to Guayaquil, the energetic city known as the Pearl of the Pacific.

This trip’s unique selling point is the sheer variety packed into a compact timeframe: from towering peaks and historic cities to lush coastlines. At the end of the tour, travelers can choose to extend their journey to the Galapagos, relax on sun-kissed beaches, or venture into the rainforest, allowing for a customized ending to an already diverse experience. Perfect for those eager to sample Ecuador’s full spectrum of landscapes and cultures in one seamless tour package.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
