Ecuador is traditional villages and picturesque colonial cities nestled in the shadows of the Andes Mountains. It is the primitive rainforests and diverse wildlife of the Amazon and the windswept islands teeming with unrivaled endemic species in the Galapagos. It’s the culture of indigenous tradition and European influence that weaves its way through the food and music, the art and architecture, and the traditional Sierra way of life like the strands of a straw basket or a rushing river through lush, dense rain forest.

The wealth of experiences is incredibly diverse for such a small country, and you will explore it all on our small group cruise-tour. Cruise through the Amazon basin along the Napo River, a tributary of the mighty Amazon River aboard the Manatee Amazon Explorer. Guided by an expert naturalist who knows the territory and its flora and fauna, take night walks through the Amazon, explore the river by guided canoes and kayak, search for pink river dolphins, anacondas, monkeys, caimans, turtles, manatees & more, and enjoy the amenities of your beautiful river boat. After, explore the capital city of Quito and the quaint market town of Otavalo along the Avenue of the Volcanoes.

And then, why not complete your tour of Ecuador’s world-renowned highlights with an optional extension to the Galapagos? You’ll spend three nights exploring the islands and wildlife that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution before you return home with a newfound appreciation for this South American gem, with memories that will last a lifetime and a newfound appreciation of nature at its best.

1. The Galapagos Islands extension is subject to availability and requires a minimum of 2 passengers to operate. Flights for this extension must be confirmed separately with the airlines, which typically takes 3 to 5 business days after we receive your booking, and we will notify you immediately upon confirmation.

So that we can offer you the best deals, our packages are, like most hotels and cruises, priced based on double occupancy rooms or cabins. We charge solo travelers an extra fee to cover the extra costs of single occupancy rooms or cabins. (Consider: if you booked a $200/night hotel room solo, you would pay the $200 yourself; but if a couple booked the same room, each one would pay only $100.) But you only pay extra for the rooms or cabins, nothing else, including meals, sightseeing, tips, etc. Why are single rooms more?
