Louise | Traveled in September

This tour was a fabulous introduction to this beautiful country with friendly people show casing their lifestyle. The landscape is very dramatic and changes quite quickly. I had never trekked at these altitudes and found the gradual introduction very helpful. Can't quite believe I made it to over 5000m on Chimborazo. The carefully chosen indigenous communities we visited showed the variety of cultures and lifestyles but essential showed people have the same problems the world over it's all about how they choose to deal with those issues. In the main the accomodation was good but I would have preferred to stay another night in Quito rather than return to our first hotel the San Jose, which was a little isolated. I wasn't very keen on the hotel in Rio Bamba + rocky toilet not great- and feel sure more appropriate accomodation could be found closer to Chimborazo. All the Guides were excellent - all the ladies showed a wicked sense of humour. Special shout out to Jason at le Jardin Aleman - his knowledge and field craft were remarkable. Dario and his trusty driver Wilson played such a key role in make Ng this such a memorable trip. Their passion for their country shines through and this together withe their kindness, humour and patience made them the dream team. We also fell lucky with the mix of our fellow explorers as we all seemed to have a similar focus (we weren't a shopping focused group It was a fairly full itinerary but aprming coffee break would have been appreciated and if it was possible to extend by a few days to include a vodysl dot it would be perfect.

Loved the Galapagos!! was a wonderful guide and had so much positive energy, knowledge about the wildlife, and thoughtful suggestions about things to do. The islands were so beautiful, the wildlife was insane (truly a bucket list trip), the hotels were nice, and the food was better than expected as a vegetarian. I feel like the stop in Santa Cruz was a bit rushed with only 1 night - I wish we had more time there to explore, as well as to enjoy the hotel as it was beautiful and we never really had time to enjoy the pool or amenities. Also note that the boat rides between the islands can be a bit tough if you're someone who gets motion sick. Definitely bring meds and you should be good to go. Highly recommend overall and was a trip of a lifetime!

Amazing trip!! Wonderful guide, comfy and spacious bus for transportation between cities, amazing hotels, and great add-ons + included activities. I usually spend weeks planning out a trip and this made it so seamless. I'd highly recommend! (Not to mention, Ecuador was SO beautiful and exceeded my expectations. It also felt very safe). Shoutout to -- I'm a vegetarian and was worried about having enough food and he always did SUCH a good job making sure I had great options. Very thoughtful, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun guide.

I loved the trip and already want to go back. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and had excellent recommendations. He was thrown into a chaotic situation and really tried to make sure everyone on the trip had a great time.

A well organised and varied tour. There was plenty of opportunity to mix with local people and get a taste of their lifestyle. Wildlife was abundant and especially in Galapagos was surprisingly visible.

It was the adventure of a life time, expert guides and the best tour manager anyone could ask for Esteban! From unbelievable nature sites to fantastic cultural experiences, it was an unforgettable trip entirely!

Planning tips for solo travelers to Ecuador

Safest destinations in Ecuador for single travelers

Though Ecuador fares toward the lower end of the Global Peace Index (ranked 130th of 163 in 2024 with a score of 2.572), it offers remarkably safe pockets for solo travelers—especially women, LGBTQI+ adventurers, and people of color. The Galápagos Islands boast virtually zero violent crime, while high-visibility police patrols in Quito’s historic Old Town and Cuenca’s UNESCO-listed center create secure, walkable streets. Community-run hostels and women-led homestays in the Andean highlands provide both local insight and supportive environments. Ecuador’s constitution outlaws discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and Pride events in Quito attract thousands annually, signaling growing social acceptance. Though Spanish is the primary language, English speakers are prevalent in tourism hubs, and translation apps bridge gaps elsewhere. Petty theft can occur, but guided excursions through cloud forests or indigenous market visits come with expert guides who ensure both cultural sensitivity and personal safety.

Cost of traveling to Ecuador alone

Ecuador stands out as one of South America's most budget-friendly destinations for solo travelers. Daily expenses can range from USD 30 to 50, covering accommodations, meals, and transportation. At Bookmundi, our Ecuador solo travel packages start at approximately USD 130 per person, offering organized itineraries, accommodations, and select activities. For those desiring private rooms, single supplements are applicable and vary based on the tour and accommodation type.
