New responsible guides launched to Ecuador
Responsible travel argues there’s more to Ecuador than the Galapagos Islands
"Going to Ecuador and not spending serious time on the mainland is a bit like going to Sicily but never bothering with Rome, Florence, Tuscany or the Dolomites." Says Responsible Travel "So, yes, go to the Galapagos for the iguanas and islets, but don’t go all that way and miss the Andes and Amazon, World Heritage cities and coast."
responsibletravel.com’s two new 2 minute travel guides to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands showcase how this tiny country packs real travel punch offering travellers the quintessential South American experience, without the vast travel distances.
These straight-talking guides provide an invaluable resource ensuring responsible tourists get the most from your holiday, informing of what independent, local specialists and responsibletravel.com’s experts, rate, find overrated as well as what’s underrated and a little more tucked away.
So as you plan your Ecuador itinerary you may think twice about including Mitad del Mundo and Otavalo market but make time for the Quilotoa Loop and Incan ruins (they’re not all in Peru!). Only just larger than the UK, Ecuador has more biodiversity per square kilometre than any other country in the world and this microcosm of South America is one of its best family destinations – with accessible cloud-forest offering unique, malaria-free wildlife adventures.
The 2 minute travel guides to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands cut through the deluge of information out there to give you what you really need to know:
- When to go and when not to
- Expert advice on family travel
- Local issues and tips
All of responsibletravel.com’s 2 minute travel guides provide an honest overview of each destination, and do not shy away from key responsible tourism issues. They offer travellers specific advice on how to travel responsibly in that destination – with tips on what they can do to minimise negative impacts on communities, cultures and environments. All compiled by combining responsibletravel.com’s expert knowledge and experience with that of fellow experts and specialists.
