Luxury Holidays
in Ecuador and The Galapagos

With a large coastline, Ecuador offers many stunning beaches with clear blue waters which make for a truly relaxing holiday experience. For the more adventurous, the Andes Mountain range extends fantastic hiking opportunities and, of course, the Galapagos Islands are a world favourite destination with a magnificent diversity of exotic wildlife. Ecuador‘s capital, Quito, lies high up in the lush mountains and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quito Old Town has charming narrow streets, a wealth of Spanish colonial architecture, beautiful churches and some excellent restaurants. Don't miss the amazing Golden Church - Fundacion Inglesia de la Compania. This baroque Jesuit church has towering gilded columns and lavish golden alters which makes it one of the most ornate structures in all of Ecuador. For amazing views, take the Teleferico (cable car) to enjoy superb views over Quito and the distant volcanos. Once at the summit, there are hiking and horse riding opportunities as well - a great way to explore. Otavalo lies to the north of Quito and has a large market where friendly vendors offer everything from paintings and jewellery to embroidered goods and alpaca jumpers for sale. There are plenty more adventures to be had if you head into the Amazon rainforest. A guided jungle trek is a great way to make the most of your time in this wildlife-rich haven. You will get to see some amazing wildlife and can enjoy various activities including zip lining and nocturnal safaris. Inviting deep blue waters to surround the magnificent Galapagos Islands - a province of Ecuador which lies approximately 1000 km off its coast. The islands are home to sea lions, iguanas, sea turtles, giant tortoises and a whole host of other fascinating wildlife.
