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.
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.
I was cautious about arriving in Egypt given the current circumstances about the country, but felt safer that I did living in London as soon as I arrived. All of the Encounters staff are very professional.
Excellent from the initial planning to every step along the way on the trip! Worry free in every way! Islam, Hussein and Mahmoud were the greatest! Please check out my review on Trip Advisor! FIve stars from this girl!
Excellent
I had an amazing time on the trip. Everything was incredibly well organized and planned out to a tee. Our tour guide, Big Mo, was amazing and super knowledgeable. I couldn't have imagined a better trip to Egypt!
Excellent
My contact with Encounters representative was a pleasure, she answered my questions promptly, provided a quotation and changed it quickly when different flights were preferred. Both by e-mail and phone the response was very timely.
I purchased my rid tour as part of a group coupon. Is obituary hesitant but my tour was great. The staff at Encounters were professional and helpful. I had a lot of questions but no one made me feel like a pest. Good experience.
I always wanted to go to Morocco and I finally got to go last September. I'm glad I chose this tour group. They were professional and attentive. Good times!
