Plan Your Perfect Ecuador Trip

Our writers have unique insights into the people and places they write about. Many have not only visited Ecuador but have made it their home.

Local guides and business owners are invited to answer your questions in the forum. We help translate, both language and culture, when need be!

Meet fellow travelers. Ask questions of our staff and make connections with potential travel partners, local guides, and tour operators before you even step off the plane.

Hiring a local guide is a great way to learn the dialect and immerse in local culture. As a  former military family stationed at a US Embassy, we understand the unique concerns of this community.

Our forum includes spaces to practice Spanish or to help English learners perfect their American-style vocabulary. Learn about another culture while sharing your own!

Freelance guide can publish their contact  information, dates of availability, search for clients, and, in the future, accept payment through our website. We invite all Ecuadorian guides to join our commnity. 

With over three-years experience traveling Ecuador, we’ve shared content from all four geographic regions: the Sierra, the Coast, the Amazon Basin, and the Galapagos. Incredibly, we keep returning for more.

As Machu Picchu attracts thousands of new visitors every year, lesser-known destinations hold opportunity for exciting adventures and less-crowded vacationing. If you have visited Peru in the last few months and would like to add to our growing list of posts, let us know!

With only one week in La Paz and Isla del Sol, we barely scratched the surface of Bolivia. This small South American nation is ready and waiting for increased tourism from their neighbors in the north.
