About Us

Travel Ecuador has a history of breaking new ground and venturing into uncharted waters in search of adventures in Ecuador. We completed the first descent of Río Upano in rafts in 1992, and since then, we have pioneered hacienda-to-hacienda hiking trips in the Andean highlands as well as multisport trips and tours that take you from Ecuador's snowy peaks to its sandy beaches.

More recently, we have added sea-kayaking in the Galapagos Islands. We know the best places in which to learn about the history of Ecuador, experience the culture and thrills of this country. Come and join in our adventures in the Andes Mountains, stay at the finest haciendas, raft on the wildest rivers, in our beautiful undiscovered Ecuador...
