Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 8 Day Ecuador Quest. Strange how a country that's literally at the centre of the Earth can be overlooked, isn't it? Stranger still considering how amazing Ecuador is. This eight-day trip shows off its best, rolling natural wonders (the Amazon!), stunning landscapes (the Ecuadorian highlands!), rich culture (Quito!), and active pursuits like hiking, horseback riding, and mountain-biking everywhere you look. Good on its own, this trip also makes an ideal add-on to any Galápagos trip. Trust us. It's worth the time.
