Ecuador
From the untouched wildlife of the Galápagos to a mist-shrouded cloud forest and the colonial grandeur of Quito, Ecuador packs an entire continent’s wonder into one remarkably compact, refined journey.
Ecuador is a country of astonishing concentration — the Galápagos Islands, the Andes, the Amazon, and a UNESCO-listed colonial capital all within easy reach of one another. Sail the Galápagos aboard an intimate luxury yacht, encountering wildlife utterly unafraid of humans, or retreat into the Chocó cloud forest at Mashpi Lodge, one of South America’s most celebrated design hotels. In Quito, wander a beautifully preserved historic centre before venturing out to the glaciated peak of Cotopaxi. Ecuador rewards travellers who want depth without distance.
Best Experience in Ecuador
Private Galápagos Yacht Charter
Explore the Galápagos aboard a private luxury yacht, snorkelling alongside marine iguanas and sea lions, and walking among giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies utterly unafraid of visitors — wildlife encounters found nowhere else on earth.
Mashpi Cloud Forest Immersion
Glide above the canopy on the Dragonfly cable car at Mashpi Lodge, deep in the Chocó rainforest, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, guided by resident naturalists through a world of orchids, hummingbirds, and cloud forest mist.
Quito Historic Centre, After Hours
Explore Quito’s UNESCO-listed old town after the crowds disperse, with private access to colonial churches and a rooftop dinner overlooking the illuminated Plaza San Francisco, guided by a local historian.
Cotopaxi Volcano by Helicopter
Fly by private helicopter over the glaciated cone of Cotopaxi, one of the world’s highest active volcanoes, before landing near a highland hacienda for a champagne lunch with views across the Avenue of the Volcanoes.
