!
Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Ecuador Beaches & Coastal Adventure" (SECQ), but here are some similar trips.
Head to the coast for a seven-day Ecuadorian exploration of culture, wildlife, and natural wonders. Learn about the port city of Manta's local fishing traditions, visit the Indigenous community of Agua Blanca (and soak in its therapeutic mud baths), then embark on a full-day trip to Isla del Plata to spot sea birds like blue-footed boobies and maybe even migrating whales if you're visiting from June to October. Your itinerary starts and ends in Quito so you can take time to explore Ecuador's lively capital.
