What Awaits You in Ecuador?

Ecuador offers a world within one country, from the volcanic isles of the Galápagos to the mist-veiled Andes and the emerald depths of the Amazon. It is a destination of rare diversity and profound beauty, where ancient cultures meet modern exploration. For yacht travellers, Ecuador is a gateway to the fabled Galápagos Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and living laboratory of evolution. On the mainland, Quito’s colonial charm and the dramatic Andean landscapes provide a striking contrast to the oceanic serenity of the Pacific coast.
