Adventurous Ecuador
If chocolate is the real secret to happiness, the Ecuadorians should be very happy indeed. On this eight-day trip, you’ll get to sample the country’s exceptional sweet treats during a tasting class in Quito and learn even more about Ecuadorian culture over lunch with the Yaku Runa indigenous community. You’ll also soak up plenty of fresh air on a horseback ride and a hike around the emerald green lake of a volcano – a great way to burn off all that chocolate.
