Short Excursions

There's more to Tropical Nature Travel than wildlife lodges!

But there's so much to see and do in Ecuador that it can be hard to choose where to go. From mountain peaks to cloud forest, from colorful villages to ancient civilizations, we've put together these short tours (all four days or less) that take you to favorite Ecuadorian destinations, so you can make the most of your time in this diverse, vibrant country. These tours are a perfect complement to a stay at one of our Featured Wildlife Lodges or a Lodge Combination Trip.
