Besties Explore The Amazons Better
Go on a trip with your friends that isn’t the usual travel cliche. Enjoy adventure, nature, and the chance to get unplugged. Take pictures, but live in the moment!
What we think you’ll love most about this trip.
With friends, it’s easy to try something new and even a little scary. That’s why we've packed plenty of adrenaline into this getaway — from the Amazon, to the Andes, to the Ecuadorian coast, you’ll see some of the most amazing destinations on Earth, and you’ll share them with your favorite people.
The most adventurous part of your trip will be…
This is tough! In the Andes, you’ll be dominating a rugged mountain range; but in the Amazon, a jungle expedition merges with the beauty of nature. And we haven’t even gotten to water sports on the Ecuadorian coast, or snorkeling off of Plata Island. Then, of course, there’s taking photos with birds…
What will make your friends jealous?
The fact that this vacation was *your* idea! Sure, booking this Signature Trip was as simple as 1, 2, 3, but they don’t have to know that. Is the trip impressive? Yes. Is it full of adventure? Yes. Will we mind if you take credit? Absolutely not! We're here to help you with every adventure, every time.
Places you'll stay
Quito
Set an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito is the highest capital city in the world. The population of this bustling city is a contrasting mix of Ecuadorians sporting sleek business suits and colorful indigenous clothing. These contrasts exemplify the mix of politics, history and culture that define Quito. Founded in the 16th century atop the ruins of an Inca city, Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a premier destination for those visiting Ecuador.
Tena
Nestled between lush hillsides and snaking rivers is the town of Tena, the whitewater capital of Ecuador. Many travelers come here just to raft or kayak on the many rivers that come raging down from the Sierras. For those looking for a drier experience, the surrounding wildlife and indigenous communities also offer a great way to spend your time.
Baños
Set at the base of the looming Tungurahua Volcano, the peaceful town of Baños gets its name from the many thermal spas that are scattered around the area. It’s an outdoor adventure hub as well, with whitewater rafting, hiking and mountain biking opportunities nearby.
Montañita
As a rowdy backpacker hub, Montañita offers travelers a lively scene alongside white sand beaches and world-renowned surfing.
