Ecuador Adventure Tours

Ecuador is the smallest country in the rough Andean highlands, but should not be misjudged by its size because the country embodies an array of vibrant native cultures, volcanic landscapes, well-preserved colonial architecture and dense rainforest. Ecuador's remarkable collection of landscapes, plants, animals, and people makes it an interesting place for travel and adventure.

The most amazing species of birds and animals are also found in these islands.

Volcan Wolf on Isla Isabela is the highest point in the series of islands.
