Ecuador Trilogy: Andes, Amazon and Islands

Thinking about Ecuador for your next adventure? Don’t limit yourself to one region when distances are short enough (and transportation good enough) to see the Andes, Amazon and Galapagos Islands all in one trip.

Enchanted Expeditions can show you the way by handcrafting a vacation itinerary that includes rainforest, mountains and islands in this small but action-packed South American country.

In addition to exploring the Rio Napo, the Ecuadorian Amazon offers incredible birdwatching, cloud forest and jungle canopy tours, thermal springs, whitewater rafting, and visits to Amerindian communities that welcome guests.

Ecuador’s Andean highlands are an alluring blend of Spanish colonial and indigenous culture, nature reserves, snowcapped volcanoes, and historic haciendas, as well as two UNESCO World Heritage cities and a World Heritage national park.

On the bucket list of nearly every globetrotter, the Galapagos archipelago has long been renowned for its variety and vast number of creatures in the sky, on the land and in the sea. Enchanted Expeditions offers live-aboard yachts and land-based visits at Enchanted Galapagos Lodge on Isla Santa Cruz.
