Visit Ecuador

From the Andes Mountains to the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands 600 miles away in the Pacific Ocean, Ecuador may be one of the smallest countries in South America but one of the most biodiverse in the world. With an indigenous cultural heritage as rich as its natural environment, Ecuador is one of the treasures of South America. Stay at charming lodges run by Ecuadorian families with a keen eye for the special touches that make a memorable experience for their guests. Discover ancient farmhouses in the Andes, some of the best eco-lodges in the Amazon and boats in the Galapagos Islands with world-class naturalist guides.

Nature Tours

Visit the Yasuni parrot lick - an exposed clay riverbank full of life with many parrot species gathering there in the early hours. The butterfly house is another on the list, here they are breeding over 40 native species. Another option is to head into the rainforest with a guide and see the fascinating flora and fauna.

Observation Tower and Canopy Walkway

The observation tower is suspended 94 feet above ground; from the treetops, you will discover an arboreal world few of us humans get to encounter - watch troops of monkeys moving effortlessly from branch to branch and a host of birdlife. Also, venture along the canopy walkway through the treetops to access life in the trees at another level.

Creek Paddling

Hop into a dug out canoe with a guide and wind your way down streams. Feel like you are drifting into a lost word with the incredible bird song and spectacular sightings of swinging monkeys overhead.

Caiman Spotting

Truly magical - not to be missed. Head off in a canoe accompanied by a guide when darkness hits, your path lit by starlight. Look out for the red glow of the caimans eyes glaring back at you as they float along.

Out trip was tailor made for our interests and levels of comfort. The ease of transition from plane to hotel. Hotel to plane. Plane to camps. All so well organised. The camps and staff were amazing and the bush drives were fantastic. We meet kind, accommodating, interesting, and wonderful staff. Our guides tailored each trip to meet our interests. True travel prepared a trip that will be in my memory forever. Thank you Matt and David!
