Ecuador Family Vacations

  • The Amazon is full of amazing wildlife

Why is Ecuador a great place for a family vacation?

Ecuador is an excellent place to visit with your family at any time of the year. There are two seasons: rainy/hot season and warm season. Ecuadorians are very affectionate between each other and very family-oriented. Exploring with your family could be fun, adventurous, and educational. This country could offer you a different activity for the family every single day for months.

What are the top family activities to do in Ecuador? 

Ecuador has almost too many activities to choose from! An amazing experience could be a Galapagos Cruise or a land stay in Santa Cruz. They could visit, the famous Charles Darwin Station, Tortuga Bay, and kayak in the Itabaca channel. In the higher part of this Island, the tortoise walks freely and wild. Mindo, 2 hrs from Quito, offers a huge variety of activities for all ages and has a butterfly garden, hummingbirds, frogs, and all types of insects. Near Otavalo, you could stay at Hacienda Zuleta, where kids can make their own chocolate, horseback riding, and watch how they make cheese. Amazon is mesmerizing for all ages. Share the lodge with wild animals, visit communities, and experience the food. Another good place to visit is Cotopaxi, staying in the proximity of an active volcano with plenty of activities like horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking up to the refuge of the volcano, around a lake, and birdwatching, among others.
