Galapagos Islands
Traveling to the Galápagos Islands offers a unique opportunity to experience nature in its purest form. They are renowned for their exceptional wildlife, including giant tortoises, iguanas, and sea lions that inhabit sandy beaches. Moreover, the Galapagos Islands provide some of the world’s best expedition cruise experiences.
Amazon Rainforest
Recommended Hotel: La Casa del Suizo exists at the heart of it all. The hotel is linked below. The Napo River is the Amazon’s largest tributary, and the rainforests it feeds are perhaps the most biodiverse on Earth. Birds are the stars of the show here: some 600 species have been identified in the region, and it’s possible to get a glimpse of some of the most magical of them, from electric-blue and blood-red macaws, to rainbow-coloured toucans. Then there are the mammals, ranging from tiny pygmy marmosets to huge jaguars.
Mindo Valley
Stretching over 48,000 acres (19,200 hectares) and reaching heights of 15,700 feet (4,778 meters), the Mindo Cloud Forest—part of the Mindo-Nambillo Ecological Reserve—is one of the most biologically diverse forests in the world. The Mindo Cloud Forest is located around 62 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of Quito in the Andes Mountains and is about a 2-hour drive from the city. The easiest way to visit is as part of a tour or by hiring a private taxi. Buses also run daily from La Ofelia Station in Quito to Mindo Village.
Quilotoa Lake
High up in the Andes, Quilotoa is a large volcanic crater with a mesmerizing emerald green lake in a typical indigenous community. If you’re looking for a spectacular photo opportunity to to blow friends away on social media, Quilotoa is the place to come!
