FAQs
Is there more to Ecuador than the Galapagos Islands?
Most people think of only the Galapagos Islands when they think of a trip to Ecuador. There is no doubt that the Galapagos Islands are a bucket list destination and offers an incredible wildlife experience. However, this is not the only amazing part of Ecuador, the Amazon Rainforest, the markets of Otavalo and hiking up volcanoes are just some of the highlights of the mainland.
Should I spend some time in Quito?
The capital city of Ecuador has so much to offer, we always recommend guests spend 2 nights there and do a city tour. The old town is one of the best-preserved examples of colonial architecture in South America and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city is set high in the Andes Mountains with spectacular views, and you can visit the equator!
Can I visit a rainforest?
On the mainland, there are two rainforests, the Cloud Forest and the Amazon. To access the Amazon you will need to take a two hour flight from Quito and then take a boat along the river to reach your chosen lodge. The Cloud Forest is much more accessible, just a two hour drive from Quito. A Cloud Forest is a type of rainforest but it is at a much higher altitude than somewhere like the Amazon. It does not have the mammals that the Amazon is famous for, its focus is on the birds especially hummingbirds and toucans. It is still a beautiful area to visit and allows you to experience the beauty of a rainforest environment.
Can I see an active volcano?
Ecuador is a very volcanically active country with 55 extinct volcanoes and 8 active volcanoes. The ‘Avenue of the Volcanoes’ is a 200km route flanked by 9 volcanoes including Tungurahua which is one of the most active craters on the continent, Chimborazo is the highest mountain in Ecuador and Cotopaxi which is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world.
