Travel Guide

We write this Ecuador travel guide from our office in Quito, as the team that runs the routes every day. It covers practical advice on altitude, packing, Galapagos planning and Amazon lodges, straight from the ground. Every article comes from a trip we actually operate, from day trips from Quito to climbing weekends and week-long cruises. So the times, prices and tips reflect what our guides see on the trail, not what a brochure says.

Use this Ecuador travel guide to decide when to come and what to pack for the highlands and the rainforest. It also shows how to acclimatize before a summit, and how to choose between a Galapagos cruise and island hopping. If an article leaves you with a question, the tours linked inside it show current prices and departures. Also, the team that wrote the answer is the same one on the other end of the contact form.
