Itinerary

Embark on an unforgettable Ecuador adventure that brings together two of the planet’s most extraordinary natural worlds — the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Rainforest. Designed with families in mind, this inspiring journey invites you to snorkel with playful sea lions and sea turtles, walk alongside giant tortoises, explore volcanic landscapes, and witness wildlife thriving up close in the Galapagos, before venturing deep into the Amazon to paddle jungle waterways, spot exotic animals, and connect with a local indigenous Kichwa community.

day 1Arrival in Quito

Once you have arrived in Quito, make your way to the hotel. Set high in the Andes and straddling the equator, Quito is one of South America’s most atmospheric capitals. Its historic centre is among the best-preserved colonial quarters on the continent and has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its churches, plazas and centuries-old architecture.
Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to head out and begin exploring independently. You can wander through the old town, visit a local café, or simply relax after your journey and adjust to the altitude.
Later in the day, we will gather at the hotel at 6 PM, where we will settle in and prepare for the journey ahead with a welcome briefing. This first day is designed to ease you into Ecuador and provide time to rest before the adventure begins.

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.
