The fascination to travel seems to be particularly strong along the equator. Many globetrotters have been amazed, and inspired by what travel along the equator offers, including numerous documented visits from some of the world’s most famous travellers. In relatively recent history, Alexander Humboldt admired and studied the diversity of nature along the equator during his American journey from 1799-1804, and subsequently the world-renowned Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1835. Deeply impressed by unique nature, flora and fauna in the Galapagos, Darwin was inspired to write his theory of evolution.

By visiting Ecuador, you too will be inspired by the exclusive scenery and the fascinating cultures here. Make time to discover the wonders of the animal and plant worlds evolving on the Galapagos archipelago. While travelling through the Amazon basin and the Andean highlands, be immersed in rich, ancient cultures that have survived centuries. Enjoy trekking through pristine national parks and horseback riding in the shadow of glaciated mountain peaks and find new friends during a Spanish language course in Quito.
