COMPLIMENTARY EXTENSIONS

Our Complimentary Extension Packages offer great opportunities to explore some Ecuador's most dramatic scenarios, which have earned the country a reputation as one of the most biodiverse and unique regions on the planet.

We work with carefully selected tourism operators, that will offer the same quality and high standards of service that our clients expect from us.

The following options are also included in the Other Adventures section among a selection of active outdoor activities.

Galapagos Islands
A naturalist's paradise!
These are the legendary islands that inspired the father of the theory of "The Evolution of the Species", Charles Darwin.
There is few places on Earth as overwhelming and powerful for the profound experience of interacting with wildlife and nature as you will do here!
If you are in Ecuador, visiting Galapagos is a must.
Amazon Jungle
As unique as the jungles are, the Amazon is the single most important forest in our planet. Not only it has the largest concentration of species ever imagined, but it holds the secrets of a world so mysterious and rich, that we are still at the brink of revealing a small part of it.
Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve
Less than two hours away from Quito lies one the 25 "biodiversity hot spots" in the World. It is the Tumbes-Choco-Magdalena Hot Spot which runs from northern Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and southern Panama.
Located on the edge of this area is the Bellavista Cloud Forest Reserve, a 700 hectare private reserve that holds 10 km of paths to explore. Home to hundreds of species of wildlife and flora it is a distinct vision of a tropical rainforest.
 
 
Our two Trekking Expeditions are multiple day hiking adventures that go off the beaten track towards two chosen beautiful regions of the central Andes of Ecuador. The Cotopaxi Challenge and Quilotoa Expedition are hikes that go deep into remote rural areas of the country. During these expeditions there will be the change to visit some local Haciendas, nowadays converted into hiker’s lodges, and get to know more about the life of the Andean people of Ecuador.

The Cotopaxi Challenge is a very unusual way to reach the Cotopaxi National Park by foot, starting just a few kilometres near the city of Quito and walking up to where the snow line begins, 4.800 m / 15,744 ft.

The Quilotoa hike will give you a cultural view of the lives of the Indigenous peoples in a remote and less visited mountain area.
