Introduction

With more biodiversity per square kilometre than any other nation in the world, Ecuador captures the very essence of South America. Famous for its unique and fearless wildlife, this suggested itinerary celebrates Ecuador’s two most famous destinations: the Amazon Rainforest and Galapagos Islands. On both land and sea adventures, swim among sea lions, walk alongside giant tortoises and witness magnificent caiman under the cover of darkness.
