A trip to Ecuador packs in everything from Andean peaks to Amazon jungle, colonial cities to volcanic islands. Explore icons like Quito, Cuenca, the Galápagos Islands, or hike around Cotopaxi and unwind in Baños. For something less trodden, head to Mindo’s cloud forest or the sleepy southern towns of Vilcabamba and Loja.

With Rough Guides, tailor-made travel in Ecuador means zero stress. Our local experts design trips around your style, no matter if you're into wildlife, trekking, hot springs, or street food. You set the pace. We handle the rest.

Things to know before your Ecuador trip

What does a trip to Ecuador look like?

Ecuador punches above its weight for variety. You might start in Quito’s old town, then wander through Cuenca’s cobbled streets before flying to the Galápagos for surreal wildlife encounters. Mix it up with thermal baths in Baños, volcano hikes at Cotopaxi, or birdwatching in Mindo.

Want to really get off the grid? Try canoeing through the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve or chilling in Vilcabamba’s valley of longevity. With Rough Guides, your Ecuador itinerary is built around what you want to see.
