Is 3 weeks enough to see all of Ecuador?

Yes, for the four main regions: cloud forest, Amazon, Andes and Galápagos. Ecuador is roughly the size of the United Kingdom, which is why three weeks covers it.

How many days should you spend in the Ecuadorian Amazon?

Four nights minimum for Cuyabeno. Two nights deliver one full day once travel time is counted; four give three days of canoe excursions, night walks and community visits.

What is the best route through the Ecuadorian Andes?

North to south from Otavalo through Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Baños and Chimborazo to Cuenca. It follows the Avenue of the Volcanoes and avoids backtracking.

When is the best time for 3 weeks in Ecuador?

June to September is driest in the Andes and best for the Galápagos land activities. The Amazon is wet year-round, with higher rivers between April and July.

Do I need internal flights for a 23-day Ecuador tour?

Two: Quito to Lago Agrio for Cuyabeno, and Guayaquil to Baltra for the Galápagos. Everything else is by private road transfer.

    Beautiful, Safe, Ecuador! Get your cameras ready!!
Rebecca Adventure Travel worked with us to customize a 15 day, self-driven tour from the top of the country to the bottom of the country within the Ecuadorian Andes mountains. It’s was a fast paced trip but so worth being able to see the center of the country as well as some of own adventures. We planned the trip well in advance and selected each destination with purpose. Rebecca Adventure Travel did the rest. Fine hotels, excellent guides, car rental, attractions, some meals, and they provided FULL TIME guidance throughout the trip. We are well pleased with the team, communication was excellent and the hotels were beyond our expectations. We will use Rebecca Adventure Travel again and highly recommend their services. Many thanks to Maggie, Guillermo, Miguel, Katie!!

    A trip to remember!
We booked the 23-Day Complete Ecuador & Galapagos tour through Juan in the Rebecca office. From the start there was clear communication and a helpful attitude, nothing was a problem. This continued throughout the whole trip. The guides were awesome and Carlos and the Operations team were always on call to help us if we needed it. This was a fantastic tour which covered all the main attractions including a week in the Galapagos islands which was amazing. I highly recommend Rebecca Adventure Travel!

    Zorgeloos reizen in Ecuador!
Met Rebbeca’s Adventure traveling een individuele reis geboekt. 26 dagen Ecuador en de Galapagos eilanden en o.a. Quito, Mindo, Amazone, heetwaterbronnen, Cuenca, Baños en nog veel meer. Wat een fantastische reis hadden we. Eerst met ons gezin en halverwege sloten onze vrienden vanuit Aruba aan. Alles was perfect geregeld. Eigen busje met vaste gids en chauffeur. Bij iedere volgende locatie een update vanaf kantoor met de details voor de volgende bestemming. Hierdoor hadden we een zorgeloze tijd en hebben we Ecuador echt mogen leren kennen en beleven! Een volgende keer weten we jullie weer te vinden!
