Ecuador Multi-Sport
Overview
Our Ecuador adventures are designed to access the seldom visited yet extraordinary mainland Ecuador in one action-packed week. On our Ecuador Multi-Sport tour, you’ll explore an array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well-preserved colonial architecture, otherworldly volcanic landscapes and dense rainforest in the smallest country in the rugged Andean highlands. We hike and bike in Cotopaxi National Park, raft an Amazon river, horseback ride to volcanoes and waterfalls and even soak in deluxe hot springs. Nighttime is equally as enjoyable at some of the best lodging the region has to offer, with accommodations ranging from traditional haciendas and jungle lodges to a French baronial mansion.

The Galapagos archipelago remains much the same as it was in
1835 when the young naturalist Charles Darwin arrived on the islands
and began collecting his specimens. You too can explore the diverse
flora and fauna of this magical place as you extend your stay with a
trip to these enchanted islands.
Set in a volcanic land of mesmerizing beauty, guests can swim with sea
lions and penguins, sea kayak with sea turtles, and get up close and
personal with giant tortoises, marine iguanas and lava lizards.
