Ecuador activity holiday
Description of Ecuador activity holiday
This tailor made week in Ecuador is ideal for families, school parties and adventurous friends who are looking to get outdoors and active within an amazing array of exhilarating environments.
Although Ecuador is relatively small it still packs one heck of a punch in terms of variety with numerous volcanic landscapes providing an absolute playground for adventure activities, such as mountain biking in Cotopaxi National Park and rafting on the Toachi and Blanco rivers
As this suggested holiday itinerary can be tailor made all year round, you get to pick a time of year that fits in with your plans as well as deciding upon which activities and which level of exertion best suits your expectations.
Starting in Quito you’ll be invited to discover Ecuador’s Spanish colonial heritage and ecclesiastical architecture prior to heading out into the countryside where cultural contrasts within highland farming villages ensure you get to see all sides of Ecuador against some lusciously fertile volcanic landscapes.
Forget the South American heavyweights and expensive offshore alternatives, an activity holiday in Ecuador is all set to be one of the next big things, just make sure you keep it under your toquilla straw hat.
