Ecuador Upgraded (GA SEAJ)

(1 Review)

It’s strange that a country so literally at the centre of the Earth can feel overlooked. From the imposing Andean mountains to the lush jungles of the Amazon, Ecuador sometimes feels like the tasting menu for South America. The best part is that on this wonderful adventure you’ll get to taste a little bit of everything. At Otavalo, wander the largest market in South America, take a canoe ride through the Amazon, dive deep into indigenous culture, hike amid volcanoes, tour an animal sanctuary, and slip into some natural hot springs on a trip that really packs a punch. Trust us, the adventure is worth it!

Price Inclusive

  • Accomodation / HotelsHotels (4 nts), historic hacienda (1 nt), jungle lodge (2 nts), hot springs resort (1 nt).
  • FoodEating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally, meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what, and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally, food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
