Twenty-one days in Ecuador gives you several ways to shape a fuller, more varied trip, from broad overland journeys to focused regional combinations. You could balance Quito, Otavalo and the cloud forests around Mindo with an Amazon stay for canoe excursions and wildlife viewing.

A more Andes-focused route might link Cotopaxi, Baños, Riobamba and Cuenca, with relaxed stops in small towns and hot-spring resorts along the way. There is also enough time to combine mainland highlights with a dedicated Galápagos section.

Across this timeframe, trips can range from slower lodge-based stays to more active multi-center routes, depending on how much time you want to give cities such as Guayaquil versus national parks, villages and coastal areas.

These Ecuador trips are crafted by on-the-ground Ecuador travel experts, not taken from a brochure.

Each itinerary is just an example that you can customize, from route and pacing to activities and style of accommodation.
