Ecuador’s Greatest Hits: A Bucket-List Adventure

Twelve days across Ecuador's varied landscapes, from Quito's colonial old town to the crater lake of Quilotoa and the rainforest of Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve. It's a broad sweep of the country rather than a deep dive into one region.

Expect a mix of highland markets, cloud forest, waterfalls, and jungle wildlife, with a guide leading you through each. The pace covers a lot of ground, moving between very different environments in a fairly short space of time.

A fit for travellers who want a wide first look at Ecuador — culture, altitude, and Amazon — in one guided trip rather than picking a single area to explore slowly.

• Explore Quito's colonial old town
• Visit the turquoise crater lake at Quilotoa
