Discover the best of mainland Ecuador: wildlife, jungles, volcanoes and coast
Andean ranges, colonial landmarks, effervescent indigenous markets and verdant cloud forests are just the start of the wonders we see on this Ecuadorian adventure. We also follow the Avenue of the Volcanoes where we glimpse the snow-capped peaks of Cayambe and Chimborazo, and stay in the Amazon Rainforest, which we share with monkeys and more. It finished on the Pacific coast, where we take to boats to navigate mangroves and visit a cacao plantation – a fitting end to a trip packed with adventure and culture.
In Quito and the highlands, it should be warm by day and generally dry. Maximum daytime temperatures are almost constant throughout the year at 20C (68F), nights 8C (46F). Some rain can be expected in February to May and October to November but storms, though heavy, are generally short. Quito and the highlands are considered to have quite a pleasant climate, although the evenings can be chilly. In the jungle regions, it will be hot with high humidity.
There is always a possibility of rain at any time, but not to the extent of spoiling your enjoyment. The driest time in the jungle (in terms of rainfall levels, not number of rainy days) is October to January. On the Guayaquil coast, the climate is tropical. Between December and April, it is sunny, hot and humid, with daytime temperatures often reaching the mid-30Cs (around 86F). As the Humboldt Current moves north, the city tends to be cloudier and cooler between May and November, but temperatures rarely dip below 29C (84F).
This trip has been graded Activity Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).
It will appeal to those interested in the astonishing variety of mainland Ecuador: Spanish and Inca history, paramo highland, mangrove systems, rainforest, cloud forest and volcanoes. It is a busy trip, taking in a huge amount of scenery, flora, fauna and history in two weeks. Many of the areas visited are at high altitude and some short walks (normally one to three hours) are planned. A reasonable level of fitness is required.
