Territories - Ecuador

Andean Lake Province, Otavalo, and Galapagos Islands

Explore Ecuador high and low, from the colorful rural mountain high country of the Andes to the unique and fascinating Galapagos Islands. Named for the equator which it straddles, Ecuador holds one of the continent’s oldest cities and most famous Indian marketplaces. You’ll also find tropical rain forests and the highest volcano in the world—not to mention giant tortoises, penguins, and blue-footed boobies. Professional naturalist guides lead you into a truly memorable experience, whether you’re cruising the islands on your exclusively booked yacht, or stretching your legs around the extensive grounds of your 18th century hacienda.

"We have friends who would sepnd tons of time researching to try to do this trip on their own. For us, well, we'd be lost. We wouldn't want to do it any other way than with OBP. We loved every minute of it." Mandy R.
