About this trip
Eight days across Ecuador, taking in the Amazon, the highlands, and the streets of Quito. It's a trip built around getting outside and moving, with hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking woven through the days.
This one works well on its own, and it also pairs naturally with a Galápagos trip if you're heading that way too.
What you'll do
- Explore Quito's old town and culture
- Venture into the Amazon rainforest
- Hike through the Ecuadorian highlands
- Horseback ride across the landscape
- Mountain bike through the countryside
- An active trip — expect hiking, biking, and riding rather than lounging
- Works well as an add-on before or after a Galápagos trip
Worth it if you're flexible, enjoy packed itineraries, and value a strong guide. Think twice if you need advance planning details or prefer a slower pace.
- Amazon homestay and local family stays genuinely taught cultural insight that standard hotels cannot match.
- Guide quality (Ángeles, Julio) made the trip; they managed group dynamics, offered deep knowledge, went extra miles.
- App access failed for some; daily briefings only way to learn next-day plans. Go-with-flow attitude essential.
- Eight days crammed with multiple regions and daily activities; expect early starts and a relentless pace.
