Ever wondered what wonders await at the very center of the world? The Ecuador Quest tour invites experienced travelers to discover the heart of South America on this dynamic 8-day exploration, starting and ending in Quito. This journey is a perfect fusion of culture, adventure, and breathtaking scenery—ideal for those with a thirst for both insight and activity.
Uncover the vibrant streets and colonial treasures of Quito, then unwind in the rejuvenating hot springs of Papallacta, nestled high in the Andes. The trip crescendos with a visit to the Amazon, where pristine rainforests and abundant wildlife offer unforgettable encounters. Hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are woven throughout the experience, allowing you to actively engage with Ecuador’s diverse landscapes—from the dramatic highlands to the lush jungles and the adventure-filled town of Banos.
A special highlight of this tour is its balance: while it’s a complete adventure on its own, it also makes for a perfect extension to a Galápagos trip. All accommodations, transport, meals, and expert guidance are included, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience. With Ecuador’s natural beauty, living culture, and opportunities for active pursuits, this moderate-activity tour package guarantees more than sightseeing—it offers a deep connection to one of South America’s most fascinating countries.
Don't skip Ecuador! This trip was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation in one of the most beautiful and biodiverse countries I have ever seen. The guide, group, and local people were all wonderful. I can't wait to go back, see more, and drink as many batidas de papaya as I can! If you have time, a trip to Mindo for the hummingbirds is magical
Our trip to Ecuador was amazing through the program offered by G Adventures. We had a great time and will recommend G Adventures to others in the future.
My trip to Ecuador quest tour was absolutely amazing. I honestly came in with no idea what to expect and but after the tour was pleasantly surprised. The tour takes you to a variety of locations across the highlands and the jungle and each destination provided me with a unique memory and experience to take home. This trip is super duper affordable and your money goes a long way in the country for food and souvenirs and everything in between. I particularly loved all the adventures we did in BaA±os which included Horseback Riding and ziplining for $25 each. Our CEO Carlos was great and was a go to resource. Ecuador is a beautiful country with such friendly people and great food. Highly recommend!
It is a great tour to experience parts of this beautiful country. I would have loved to stay a few days more in the jungle.
