Useful Information about travelling in Ecuador

There are several great places to visit in Ecuador. Quito, Cuenca, Loja, and Banos are just a few. Each has something different to offer. You'll be sure to find a good souvenir from these destinations. But if you're looking for something unique and special, you should consider purchasing locally produced spices.

Quito

Quito is home to more than 50 museums, and many of these exhibit a wide variety of Ecuadorian art, history, and culture. The National Museum, for example, has an extensive collection of artifacts and historical exhibits. La Capilla del Hombre, located adjacent to the National Museum, is another great museum to visit.

Cuenca

One of the best places to visit in Ecuador is the city of Cuenca. This town is nestled in the highlands and has a charming central historic district. Its charming cobblestone streets are lined with beautiful townhouses and balconies with elegant ironwork. The city is also the birthplace of the famous Panama hat, made from toquilla straw from the local area.

Cuenca

Loja

Loja is a city in southern Ecuador that is known as the cultural capital of the country. It is home to many cultural institutions and attractions, including a museum of musical instruments and scores. The city also has a beautiful park with colonial buildings and wooden balconies. The clock tower in the park features reliefs depicting important events in the city's history.

Banos

If you are looking for a vacation destination, Banos is a great choice. The town offers activities for every budget and is easy to reach from most parts of Ecuador. It is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, you can enjoy a laid-back small town feel while exploring the local landscape.

Ingapirca

If you've ever dreamed of being at the top of a mountain, Ingapirca is a real possibility. The town is situated in the Andes mountains, over an hour's drive from the city of Cuenca. You'll be rewarded with fresh air and traditional Andean cuisine. The town is also home to a small museum that you can explore for a small fee.

Riobamba

The town has a vibrant market scene, where you can find all sorts of exotic fruits and foods. The city also has plenty of opportunities for biking, and you can visit its many lakes. The town is also home to the first catholic church in Ecuador.

Galapagos

A trip to the Galapagos Islands is an incredible experience. It's a true once in a lifetime experience, and the wildlife is plentiful throughout the year. While some seasons are better for viewing young animals, others are more favourable for mating and breeding season. Here's a packing list to help you prepare.

These tours offer a wide variety of experiences and provide an excellent chance to get up close and personal with wildlife.

Amazon Rainforest

If you've ever dreamed of hiking in the heart of the rainforest, you'll want to book one of the many guided tours in Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest. The Amazon is one of the world's most unique ecosystems, with many hidden and rare animals. A guided tour offers the opportunity to experience it all, from spotting elusive jaguars to interacting with local communities.

Inca Trail

Those who want to experience the majesty of the Inca Trail may want to consider a guided tour of the trail. These tours are ideal for those who do not have much time to hike.

Guayaquil

The city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, is a hub of commerce and an exciting port city. Different from the historic capitals of Quito and Cuenca, Guayaquil has undergone significant modernization in recent years. Attractions in the city include the elegant boardwalk along the Guayas River, the monument to the liberator Jose Joaquin Olmedo, and the Moorish Tower.

Las Penas

One of the most beautiful areas in the city is the Las Penas neighbourhood, which sits on the banks of the Guayas River. Old colonial buildings adorn the area. This area was one of the few to survive the fire that devastated the city in the late 18th century. Buildings here are painted in a vibrant variety of shades.
