Travel Information
A country of incredible natural beauty, you’ll be surrounded by the Amazon and stunning mountainous landscapes. One of Ecuador’s highlights is of course the Galápagos Islands. Here you’ll find the most extraordinary ranges of wildlife on the planet. Darwin famously refined his theory of evolution while exploring the Galápagos Islands.
Ecuador has suffered from dictatorships and economic stagnation over the years. Tourism is now one of the most important aspects of the Ecuadorian economy.
You’ll certainly want to visit Quito, the capital city perched on a volcano. It’s the second-highest capital city in the world, in terms of its geographical location! Intrepid travellers will want to explore the Amazon jungle.
Take a trip to the Amazon and experience unrivalled biodiversity. You can also take a guided tour and visit some of the tribes native to these parts.
Head to the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago that boasts much of the world’s greatest wildlife.
Immerse yourself in the streets of the capital city, Quito. At over 900 feet above sea level, it’s one of the world’s highest capitals. Head to the Old Town and see stunning colonial-era buildings. Quito was built on the foundations of an ancient Inca city, the civilisation that was overwhelmed by the arrival of the conquistadors.
To get to Ecuador, we recommend flying to Quito via Madrid, another South American airport or some USA airports.
