Experience Overview
It’s quite poetic that Ecuador is the centre of this big, beautiful planet of ours. In so few kilometres, the peaks of the Andes, the jungles of the Amazon, and historical cities all have some square footage here and with this 14-day journey you can see some of it all.

J'aurais aimé plus de temps près de la nature pour profiter encore plus de son côté unique et spectaculaire.

I love that G lets me travel within my budget. As a single traveller, I loved having a roommate and group to go with, but the freedom to "choose my own adventure" along the way so that the trip was really what I wanted it to be.

Overall fun adventure, Ecuador is a beautiful country. The altitude wasn't an issue, hang out in a Quito for a few nights and you'll acclimate. Highly recommend adding the City Tour to your itinerary so you can see the Equator line in the city ...
