Top places to visit in Ecuador
Quito
Ecuador’s capital city is built on the foundations of an ancient Incan city. Its well-preserved colonial center is rich with 16th and 17th-century buildings that blend together European, Moorish and indigenous influences. Head into Old Town to feast on traditional Ecuadorian food.
Galápagos Islands
Witness one of the greatest wildlife shows on earth on this remote archipelago, 600 miles off the Ecuadorian coast. The extraordinary collection of volcanic islands has to be seen to be believed. Chock-full of fearless land and marine creatures – which inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution – it’s a nature-lover’s dream.
Ecuadorian Amazon
Vast rainforest, winding rivers, and extraordinary biodiversity define the Ecuadorian Amazon, one of the most ecologically rich regions on the planet. Home to Indigenous communities and rare wildlife, this remote landscape offers a powerful sense of scale and immersion. Expect dense jungle, river travel, and experiences shaped by life deep within the forest.
Cuenca
This city is located in southern Ecuador’s Andes mountains known for its Tomebaba ruins. It still has a Historic Walled Town with steep cobbled streets and medieval castle ruins. Head into the central plaza to visit the blue-domed Catedral Nueva and the 16th-century Catedral Vieja, now a religious museum.
