Excursions
"Tucked in between Perú and Colombia, Ecuador is small enough for you to have breakfast with scarlet macaws in the jungle at tea time, and then to be eyeballed by an iguana whose patch of Pacific beach you have just borrowed in the afternoon. The spectacular zig-zags and switchbacks of the railway that descends from the highlands,shows views of a range of volcanoes- many of them active, a multitude of national parks and conservation areas, all emphasise the incredible variety in Ecuador. The exotic wildlife of the Galápagos Islands will also keep you enthralled. Whether it's playing hide-and seek in the crystal-clear waters with sea lions or watching an albatross take off on its flight path, or admiring the sexual paraphernalia of the magnificent frigate bird, you will not cease to be entertained and enthralled with the beauty of this Country.
