Ecuador is a country that captures the imagination. It’s one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, packing snow-capped Andean peaks, lush Amazonian rainforest, and the truly unique Galápagos Islands into a nation roughly the size of Colorado.
For us, it represents a profound opportunity to connect with nature on its own terms. The wildlife in the Galápagos has no innate fear of humans, allowing for respectful, up-close encounters that are impossible anywhere else. It’s a place that fundamentally changes your perspective on the natural world.
Beyond the wildlife, Ecuador offers a vibrant culture and a surprisingly vegan-friendly food scene rooted in staples like potatoes, corn, and an incredible variety of fresh fruits, making it a perfect destination for a compassionate traveler.
