Family Travel in Ecuador

Ecuador is ideal for family adventures and travel.
From the families of Ecuador to yours, the friendliness of the natives brings home the strengths of Ecuador’s Spanish and Indian diversity. Getting from place to place is easy in this small, friendly Andean nation. Families can explore the beauty and wildlife, experience the rich cultural diversity, and view the most spectacular landscapes ranging from glaciers and volcanoes to lowland Amazon jungles, rich agricultural lands, and the exotic marine habitat of the Galapagos Islands.
You may enjoy charming, home-style accommodations, including former colonial-style haciendas and native Indian lodges. Families with small children can teach them about diversity while experiencing the simplicity of the daily lives of the Ecuadorian people. You can visit native villages to learn about their ancestral ways of living, or stop in at a market or a school; you can hike among farmers plowing fields and learn about weav-ing, leather craft, the famous Amazon Rain sticks, and other handicrafts.
