ECUADOR MULTI-ACTIVITY ADVENTURES

Never tried sea kayaking? Give it a go. Always wanted to go on a canopy walk above a jungle? Why not try it? Mountain biking on actual mountains? Snorkelling over reefs? Zip lining, climbing or rafting?

If you've always wanted to throw yourself into every second of your holiday then a multi-activity adventure allows you to do just that. Try something different every day if you like!

Compact and diverse, Ecuador is like a tasting menu for South America. There are Andean mountains, with glacial volcanoes. The largest market in South America, where Ecuador's numerous Indigenous groups come to barter. There are Amazonian jungles and charming colonial cities, like cobblestoned Cuenca. Best of all, all these flavours are packed together, so you can be in the jungle in the morning and at the foot of a glacier by the evening. And of course, a trip to Ecuador wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the pristine and fragile Galápagos Islands.

• Acclimatise to the literally breathtaking 2,850m altitude in sophisticated Quito, checking out the colonial churches and hopping over to Otavalo, just north of the city, for the country’s best crafts market.
• Enjoy some tropical relaxation, mountain biking and rafting in Baños
• Head to the Galapagos Islands for a once in a lifetime island-hopping, wildlife-watching cruise
• Take a boat trip down to less-visited Amazon Basin, where you can see wildlife, paddle rivers and learn about the unique cultures of isolated indigenous tribes like the Huaorani and Shuar

World Class Adventures has access to the best tour operators and will tailor the perfect holiday just for you.

ECUADOR HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Ecuador is a diverse country with over a dozen distinct ethnic groups and some 20 unique languages. In the highlands, you won’t want to miss the small Kichwa villages found on the Quilotoa Loop. Along the way, you’ll get the chance to descend to a crater lake that local legend says has no bottom, meet artists in Tigua or just get lost on ancient trails as you hike and bike from village to village. 

Ecuador offers up a truckload of adrenaline-soaked activities:

• Summit one of the nation’s towering glacier-draped volcanoes, Cotopaxi
• There’s good surf in Ecuador, too, and you can find 2m waves, chill surf scenes and plenty of other fun activities. The waves are best from January to March.
• Fill your need for white water with a rafting adventure down any of the country’s Class III and IV rivers. 
• There’s mountain biking down the flanks of Chimborazo and Cotopaxi, plus a ride past a dozen waterfalls as you descend from Baños to Puyo.
• There are plenty of zip lines to fly down, bridges to jump (or swing) from, and mountains to climb.
• For wildlife watching, there is world-class birding in Mindo, Amazonian jungle treks for glimpses of monkeys, toucans, river dolphins and caimans along the Río Napo, staggering biodiversity in parks like Parque Nacional Podocarpus and, of course, the place that revealed The Origin of the Species, the Galapagos Islands.

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who deliver the best possible holidays for my clients. I remain independent and have the flexibility to provide you with the best package to suit your specific needs and budget. I search the whole market to find the best deals for every aspect of your trip so that you don’t have to, providing honest and impartial advice.

For every destination I plan, I ask operators for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the route allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. Where a holiday includes flights, it also includes a payment to Sustainable Travel International, a non-profit working to protect vulnerable destinations and the communities who live there. There is no opt-out, and I keep a record of each payment. You can find the Traveller’s Pledge and my full approach on my Responsible Travel page.
