Cultural & Nature
Explore the Ecuadorian Amazon and Andes — a journey into one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, connecting with indigenous communities and pristine wilderness.
Ecuador is a land of extraordinary contrasts, where the snow-capped peaks of the Andes meet the lush canopy of the Amazon rainforest. Our journey takes you deep into the heart of indigenous territories, where the Quechua Karanquis in the Andes and Achuar peoples in the Amazon share their ancient traditions and wisdom.
Visit the legendary Kapawi Ecolodge, a pioneering sustainable lodge built in partnership with the Achuar community in one of the most remote and pristine corners of the Amazon. Experience guided rainforest hikes, wildlife spotting, and authentic cultural exchanges.
An optional extension to the Galapagos Islands offers an unparalleled encounter with the unique wildlife that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution — giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and more.
