Ecuador
"Those who reach the peaks and shores of Ecuador, who watch and listen, will never again be the same. Some will rediscover what it means to be alive; some will try not to leave; none will ever forget; all will change. Perhaps it is the effect of the Line itself-ecuador, equator, latitude zero, the pathway of the sun. Who crosses it? Whom does it touch?"

Most of the indigenous people live in the Andes/Highlands. Many of them speak Quechua. Amongst them we have the Otavalos, Saraguros, Salasacas, etc.
Even if you only have two weeks' vacation, you can see a lot of Ecuador and really feel you are getting to know our country, its people and natural history. With three to four weeks we can offer you a much deeper experience - truly the holiday of a lifetime. We can plan your tour to your exact specifications, because we know Ecuador so well. Browse the "Ecuador" pages of this site, then contact us with your specific requirements. Any of our mainland Ecuador tours can be combined with a cruise in the Galapagos.
