Itinerary
Imagine an adventure that spans Ecuador’s dramatic mainland and the enchanting Galápagos Islands—all in the company of new friends and with plenty of solo exploration time. The Solo-ish Ecuador & Galapagos tour is a 15-day journey designed for experienced travelers eager to connect, discover, and dive deep into both nature and culture.
Start in Quito by straddling the equator at the Intiñan Museum before heading to the Andes’ snowy peaks and lush cloud forests. Relax in Baños' therapeutic hot springs, then immerse yourself in the Amazon for a taste of jungle hospitality and wildlife encounters. The trip’s second half whisks you to the world-famous Galápagos, where you’ll snorkel alongside sea lions and turtles, visit Las Tintoreras to spot Whitetip sharks and basking iguanas, and enjoy a farm-to-table meal on Floreana Island that directly supports the local community.
With a balance of guided activities and solo freedom, this tour package stands out for its unique community focus and rich connections—travelers will share experiences but also have time to wander and reflect. The real USP? A thoughtfully curated blend of adventure, wildlife, and cultural immersion, ensuring every day brings new discoveries both on land and at sea.
