Ecuador & The Galápagos Islands

 By Cherri Briggs, Founder of EXPLORE

Ecuador captivates even the most seasoned travelers with its unparalleled biodiversity. Amidst the awe-inspiring Andes Mountains, where snow-capped peaks pierce the sky, and fertile valleys stretch as far as the eye can see, endless opportunities for discovery await. The Ecuadorian Amazon stands as one of the most pristine and interesting ecosystems in the world, every inch draped in emerald green vegetation and home to sights and sounds waiting to be uncovered. 

Then there are the Galapagos Islands, a timeless realm where the echoes of Darwin's footsteps mingle with the calls of unique flora and fauna, from iconic giant tortoises to the vibrant red and blue-footed boobies. Beneath the waves, a kaleidoscope of marine life dances amidst unique geological formations, painting a picture of otherworldly beauty.

Whether aboard a private sailing ship, a luxurious small yacht, or from a land-based boutique hotel, there exist adventures like no other. In every nook and around each corner, from cloud forests to volcanic landscapes, Ecuador intertwines exploration with an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, inviting travelers to witness the immense wonders of this extraordinary land.
