Ecuador & Galapagos Tours

Ecuador, located on the northwest coast of South America, offers a remarkable blend of landscapes, cultures, and experiences. Bordered by Colombia to the north, Peru to the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Ecuador is a country of striking diversity. From the bustling capital city of Quito, nestled high in the Andes mountains, to the lush Amazon rainforest, Ecuador is rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Quito itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and vibrant local markets. Travellers can explore the Avenue of the Volcanoes, hike through the cloud forests of Mindo, or relax on the beautiful beaches of the Pacific coast.

The Galapagos Islands, a province of Ecuador located about 1,000 kilometers off its coast, are a unique archipelago renowned for their extraordinary biodiversity and unique ecosystems. These volcanic islands, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, are where Charles Darwin's observations during his visit in 1835 contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection. Visitors can expect to encounter a variety of wildlife, many species of which are found nowhere else on Earth, such as giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. The islands offer numerous activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and guided nature walks, providing close encounters with these remarkable animals in their natural habitats.

Travelers to Ecuador and the Galapagos can look forward to a journey that combines adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Ecuador's compact size makes it easy to experience a wide range of environments in a short time, from the high Andes to the Amazon basin. The Galapagos, with its pristine environment and unique wildlife, is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Whether exploring ancient ruins, sampling local cuisine, or embarking on a cruise through the Galapagos, visitors will find Ecuador and the Galapagos offer unforgettable experiences that highlight the extraordinary natural and cultural wealth of this corner of the world.

TOUR REVIEWS

Amazing tour. Any issues we had were addressed in a timely fashion and the resolutions were satisfactory. My only complaint is the driver picking us up was late and none of the cell numbers worked when we tried to call and figure out what to do.

I liked the fact we were met at the airport and helped thru customs and getting a visa and then upon leaving taken to where we needed to go. Its always tough to figure out where everything is in a foreign airport when you do not travel much
We had a wonderful time and great memories. We felt safe the whole time and would recommend this trip to anyone of any age as long as you can walk a lot. They are with you from arrival to departure and any problems that arose the guides would try their best to solve. They also showed remarkable patience for other people in other groups we saw that were acting like idiots.

My experience with Encounters was excellent from start to finish. The Tour Guide, Sheriff, was the most passionate, enthusiastic and professional guide I have ever had on a tour and his love for Egypt really made me enjoy my time so much more.

There was a lot of communication from the beginning. The encounters staff was very responsive and the tour guide was great and very accommodating. Encounters was also able to help me with last minute changes to my itinerary while I was on the trip.

Everything was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and liked that we were interested in what he was telling us. We were lucky to be in a group with like minded people who also wanted to stay in places longer of which our guide accommodated. Only negative thing was the sitting train. Best to just take the flying option. Train was not bad but has no services, no alcohol, and breakfast was all carbs and an egg. Egypt really seems to like their breads and pastries....
