14-Nights Solo-ish Ecuador & Galapagos - Solo-ish Adventures

Solo-ish Ecuador & Galapagos
Ecuador is an outdoor lover’s dream, and this 15-day Solo-ish adventure takes you from the mainland’s breathtaking landscapes to the wild beauty of the Galápagos - all with new travel pals by your side and time to explore solo. Stand on the equator at the Intiñan Museum, take in snow-capped Cotopaxi, wander through the cloud forest, soak in Baños’ hot springs, and relax at a jungle lodge in the Amazon. Then, jet off to the Galápagos for unforgettable encounters - snorkel with marine wildlife, enjoy a farm-to-table meal supporting the locals on Floreana, and visit Las Tintoreras, where Whitetip sharks glide through clear waters and iguanas bask in the sun. This is solo group travel, reimagined - with adventure, connection, and community at its heart.

Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
