When you think of an Ecuador holiday, fishing villages and golden beaches may not spring to mind! However, this little country, packed with volcanoes, cloud forests and colonial cities also boasts long stretches of sand kissed by the Pacific Ocean. Trips to Ecuador are often quite active, so why not end your adventure with a few days at Puerto Lopez on the sunny Pacific Coast? From here, you can explore the islands of Machalilla National Park, all crammed with wildlife - spot humpback whales breaching in the waves, look out for the Galapagos albatross and see blue-footed boobies on Isla de la Plata.

Ecuador is a land of contrasts dominated high altitude mountains and volcanoes. If you love being outdoors and active when you travel, it is paradise on earth. Ecuador’s scenic trails are less famous than those of neighbouring Peru but they are some of the world’s best walks, hikes, treks and climbs. There are fewer trekkers too, so hiking in Ecuador is perfect if you’re after an off-the-beaten-track adventure. During this itinerary, you will scale snow-tipped Cotopaxi and follow a part of the Quilotoa Loop. Along the way, you’ll climb active volcanoes, hike to crater lagoons and explore Andean forests filled with waterfalls. Your last stop will be Baños, the adventure capital of Ecuador, where there will be all kinds of ways to get your adrenaline pumping.

Ecuador’s mainland is a feast for all five senses. Snow-capped volcanoes emerge from lush green valleys, and you’ll find some of the best preserved and most beautiful colonial cities in the continent. During this 9-day itinerary, you’ll travel down the very spine of the country, known as the Avenue of the Volcanoes. It runs 200 miles south of Quito between two parallel cordilleras and contains seven peaks above 5,000 metres high.

Ecuador’s position on the equator makes it a world of contrasts. You will travel through tropical landscapes rich with orchids and palm trees, while the snow-tipped Andes tower in the background. You will ride the famous Devil’s Nose Train, visit the thermal town of Baños and explore Cuenca, one of the most beautiful colonial cities in South America. Along the way, you’ll travel with a private driver and guide, sleep in traditional haciendas and be charmed by the friendliness of the local people.

Visit the little-known southeast of Colombia with this nine-day itinerary that will take you to starry deserts, mystical archaeological sites, and salsa-obsessed cities filled with music. Start in stunning Tatacoa, where you will spend two nights in the desert and observe the beautiful sky at night. Next, continue to San Agustin, a place of ancient mystery and secrets. Hidden amongst the lush hills and green valleys of the Magdalena River, it’s a little-visited spot steeped in history and local legend. First discovered by a Spanish monk in the 18th century, almost nothing is known about the bizarre Forest of Sculptures here, or about the people who carved them.

Further south, you will spend two nights in Popayan, famous for its chalk-white facades and rich colonial history, with heritage matching the more celebrated Cartagena in the north. Finish with two nights in friendly Cali, with its intoxicating salsa music and warm, welcoming people. Throughout the journey, you will be driven by an English-speaking guide in a private vehicle to make the most of this exhilarating trip through Colombia’s history, landscapes and culture!

Colombia is a country of colourful contrasts, and this itinerary is an excellent introduction to two of its most beautiful cities. First, you’ll visit cosmopolitan Bogotá, cradled by chilly Andean peaks and boasting sophisticated urban cool. You’ll spend two days exploring the charming historic centre of Bogotá before heading to Cartagena, the undisputed queen of the Caribbean. Here, you can wander through the cobbled colonial streets, bathed in the tropical sunshine and surrounded by the bright blue waters of the ocean. It’s a brilliant way to get a taste of Colombia in a week.

This Colombia itinerary is the perfect introduction to the country. Featuring Bogota and Cartagena, as well as the gorgeous coffee hills, it’s a trip packed with must-see places. You’ll spend the first two nights in Bogotá, discovering its rich history and cultural heritage with a guided tour of the capital. You will then fly to Pereira, one of the major cities of the Colombian coffee triangle. Here, you will visit the coffee plantations, discover the local haciendas of Salento and see the gigantic palms of Valle de Cocora.

After a short flight, you’ll arrive at your last destination in Colombia - Cartagena. Sitting on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena de Indias is one of the most beautifully-preserved colonial cities in South America, with brightly coloured balconies and tumbling bougainvillaea. It’s the perfect ending to your Colombian adventure.

Tayrona National Park boasts some of the most beautiful coastlines in South America. Covering the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountain chain in the world, it’s a real hidden gem. The cliffs sink into the ocean like enormous fingers, forming coves and inlets of astounding beauty. Thanks to the sea and mountain ecosystems, there’s a huge variety of flora and fauna to discover as you explore the park.

During this 3 night trip to Tayrona National Park, you’ll take a guided walk through the tropical forest, swim in secluded bays and sleep in a quirky ‘ecohab’ – a comfy hut built along a hillside. It's the perfect addition to a Colombian itinerary if you love natural beauty and wildlife or you simply want to relax by the blue Caribbean.
