Ecuador

Ecuador is a highly diverse country, with a beautiful shoreline, the spectacular grandeur of the Andes and the amazing Amazon, all of which you can experience in one day, thanks to its small size. Ecuador is home to the most biodiverse section of the Amazon, ten peaks over 5000m, and the unique and remarkable Galápagos Islands, as well as eighteen distinct indigenous groups. It offers unique opportunities for wildlife watching, trekking, and experiencing new cultures.

What’s the difference?

Communities are any tourism/volunteer initiatives that are owned and run by the community members. Organisations are not-for-profits that work with communities to promote their initiatives and is a good place to look for volunteering opportunities. Travel agencies are ethical for-profits that work with communities to promote their programs and tours worldwide.
