Adventurous Ecuador

This eight-day expedition across the vast and varied landscapes of Ecuador has plenty of activities to get your heart rate up. You’ll cycle the Baños Waterfall Route, go horseback-riding at Cotopaxi National Park and explore the Amazon by whitewater rafting down the Jatunyacu River. Nothing tops the Swing at the End of the World, though. Hold on tight as you glide back and forth from atop a treehouse, flying out over the epic valleys that surround Tungurahua volcano. Are you brave enough to give it a go?
