Ecuador, to venture into the Andes and the Amazon

The adventurer in your soul will appreciate an intrepid solo journey into the Amazon. Ecuador is a worthy entry point – particularly as it grants you the opportunity to trek the Andes alone. When it comes to whitewater rafting through the jungle and riding the Swing at the End of the World, however, it might be wise to have a helping hand nearby. Get to know Ecuador’s interior over the course of this eight-day discovery travel tour.
