Ecuador Treasures: Andes, Amazon & Volcanoes in

Start & end in Quito 8 days Up to 16

About this trip

Eight days across Ecuador's Andes and Amazon, mixing volcano cycling with jungle exploring and highland hikes. You move between dramatic mountain scenery and dense rainforest, with stops in indigenous communities along the way.

It's a varied trip built for people who want to be active rather than sightsee from a bus window — biking, hiking and jungle activities all feature, alongside chances to try local food and meet local communities.

Small group travel with private transportation and guides throughout.

What you'll do

  • Mountain bike the slopes of one of the world's most active volcanoes
  • Hike Andean trails among llamas and alpacas
  • Visit indigenous communities in the highlands
  • Taste local Ecuadorian food
  • Explore the Amazon jungle with adrenaline-heavy activities
Good to know
  • Active trip — expect biking, hiking and jungle activities across the eight days
  • Small group with private transportation and guides throughout
  • Covers two very different regions (Andes and Amazon), so pack for both altitude and humidity
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a guided, hassle-free week hitting Andes, Amazon and volcanoes with strong local knowledge. Think twice if you prefer independent travel or expect downtime.

  • Guides (Alejandro, Jose, Alex) consistently knowledgeable, flexible, safe drivers who kept groups on schedule without rushing.
  • Accommodation choices described as magnificent and unique; guides had local connections that enriched the experience genuinely.
  • Itinerary is densely packed: Quito, Andes trekking, volcano climbing and biking, Amazon, hot springs, canyoning, rafting in eight days.
  • Booking and planning handled by the company (Sofia noted as exceptionally attentive); minimal stress, maximum activities arranged.
