Travelling

In Brief

  • Co-operation with experienced tour operators
  • Advice and support through our staff in Quito
  • Natural Paradise of the Galapagos Islands
  • Most diverse rainforest in the world

 

In order to explore and get to know Ecuador we offer, apart from the excursions, the organisation of trips to all parts of the country.

In cooperation with experienced travel agents you can discover the natural paradise of the Galapagos Islands with its unique and fearless animal kingdom. During these tours you travel from island to island and go on land up to twice per day. During each walk around the island you will be shown the extraordinary plant and animal kingdoms of this paradise by an experienced nature guide. After this there is normally time to snorkel and observe numerous fish species of all colours. Due to the calm waters this is easy even for those who have never snorkelled before. One highlight is probably the seals, which playfully swim with you.

With a kayak the winding waterways of the Amazon can be explored very well. A hike through the rainforest allows you to discover the colourful animal and plant kingdoms of the South-American rainforest. Explore, for example, the Cuyabeno National Park, one of the rainforests with the highest diversity of species in the world. From the kayak you can see parrots, monkeys or sweet-water dolphins. Nature in all its beauty.

 

 

 

Peaking at 6310m above sea level, the Chimborazo is the highest mountain of Ecuador. It offers hikers the best opportunity to climb the snow-capped mountaintops and to enjoy the incredible view.
