Understanding a country
is where encounters begin.

03 / Before you go
Less guesswork.
More discovery.
A few useful questions to help you plan a journey at your own pace.
How should I choose an itinerary?
Start with your interests: mountains, forest, ocean or wildlife. Choose fewer stops and more time in each place. Distances on a map do not tell the whole story about travel times.
What should I look for in accommodation?
Ask who runs the property, which services are included and how it works with its surroundings and local people. Compare cancellation terms and access before booking. Our future accommodation selection will build on these pointers.
How should I plan transport?
Compare arrivals in Quito and Guayaquil with your first stop in mind. For domestic journeys, check schedules, baggage allowances and terms directly with the operators.
Where can I check practical information?
For entry requirements, health and safety, consult the relevant authorities in your country and Ecuador before departure. Rules and local conditions can change.
