Tailor-made journey to Ecuador

It all depends on the formula chosen: with or without the Galápagos? A Galápagos cruise can be a journey in its own right. We select small-capacity boats. For an 8-day first-category cruise, budget from €5,500 / person departing from France, including a stopover in Quito.
For an itinerant journey covering the Andes and the Amazon over 14 days, budget from €5,000 / person.
For a journey through exceptional accommodations over about twelve days, budget from €10,000 / person.

A Galápagos cruise requires a minimum of 5 days when combined with another region such as the Amazon, for a total journey of 14 days including an essential stopover in Quito.
For a pure Galápagos or Amazon cruise, allow a minimum of 11 days.
For a complete discovery of Ecuador, excluding the Galápagos, allow 14 days.

The gold rush.
In eastern Ecuador, Yasuní National Park spans more than 10,000 km² of rainforest. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989, it is home to some of the richest nature on Earth. Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, and butterflies, along with thousands of rare plant and tree specimens, thrive in this part of the Amazon. The reserve is also the territory of the Tagaeri and Taromenane, native peoples who live there in voluntary isolation.
But this green paradise, untouched by pollution, sits atop vast oil reserves. The former president had proposed a deal to the international community: leave the deposits found within the park untouched in exchange for compensation paid by the rest of the planet. After years of negotiation and a lack of commitment from partners, drilling began in the park — a death foretold.
