Andes to the Amazon: the Essence of Ecuador

After eight days of immersion in Ecuador, you’ll love the compact South American country as much as you do each other. From cooking regional feasts in Quito, you’ll move on to canter through Cotopaxi National Park before hiking around the glacial Limpiopungo Lagoon and the turquoise-tinted Quilotoa crater lake. Ditch the boots for a refreshing white-water raft in the jungle, then it’s back to a healthy hike to learn how essential oils are extracted from Amazonian plants to make medicinal remedies. Soporific spa treatments and hot springs are on standby for end-of-trip R&R.

Get those calves working on the three-hour hike up a trail to a remote church, saving energy for a guided hike to the sharp-peaked Chaukhi Massif range. Back in Tbilisi, unwind with wine tasting, sulphur baths and a kisa massage.
