Highlights
Stay on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest in eco lodge-style accommodation on the banks of the Arajuno River and enjoy a special evening walk through the jungle under the night sky.
Walk in the rainforest with an Indigenous guide by your side to lead the way, point out local birds and teach you about the plant life that thrives here.
Hike to Pailon del Diablo – an 80-m-high waterfall so fierce that you’ll need to carry a poncho to keep dry from its wrath!
Marvel at the snow-capped Cotopaxi volcano – one of the largest and highest active volcanos in the world – while hiking through Cotopaxi National Park.
Learn from a local Indigenous community during your homestay in the La Calera Community. Take part in the Pachamanca food ceremony, which has been a part of South American culture for centuries.
Itinerary
Venture from Andean peaks to the Amazon’s edge on the "Ecuador Highlands" tour, a 9-day national parks trip for intrepid explorers.

A homestay with a local family offers cultural immersion, including a Pachamanca feast and hands-on language practice.

A rare combination of highland and rainforest experiences, topped with genuine local interaction.
