Brightsun Travel has a range of exclusive holidays to Ecuador, including city breaks to its magnificent capital, Quito, and adventures across the country. Ecuador boasts one of the most bio diverse natural landscapes on the planet, the Galapagos Islands, a place where you can explore volcanoes, natural underground tunnels, gorgeous lakes, plus beaches and oceans full of life. The islands are a wildlife lover’s dream, and its many reserves provide the perfect spot to catch the island’s wildlife, such as tortoises, iguanas and sea lions, in their natural habitat. Or, on the mainland, you could head to Ecuador’s largest National Park, the Parque Nacional Yasuní, a UNESCO international biosphere reserve, and trek through tropical rain-forests, and spot jaguars and pumas in the wild.

Now on to Ecuador’s urban scene, where you can shop at incredible markets in Otavalo, or explore Cuenca for its beautiful colonial architecture. People flock to the town of Puerto López for its beaches, and to spot whales in its surrounding oceans. Surfers will love Montañita, whilst Baños provides access to the country’s incredible highland regions. Head to the country’s capital, Quito, the highest capital city in the world, and uniquely one of the first places in the world to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, and explore fascinating museums, breath-taking historical architecture and fantastic markets. The central Mercado Artesanal La Mariscal is a city highlight, where you can shop for a range of traditional crafts from across the country.
