Hiking from Playa de los Alemanes in Puerto Ayora 🏝️, it takes about 15 minutes to reach Las Grietas ⏱️.

The scenic trail leads past salt flats, lagoons, and cacti-covered terrain 🌵🌊, with chances to spot marine iguanas and coastal birds 🦎🐦.

Once you arrive, cool off with a refreshing swim or snorkel 🤿💦 between towering cliffs in the crystal-clear waters 💎⛰️. A must-do adventure on Santa Cruz! 🧭✨

In Puerto Ayora, fishermen bring in their catch twice a day, selling fresh seafood to local restaurants and residents. 🐟🌊🍤

When the boats arrive, a pop-up market appears on the seafront—and it’s not just people who show up! 🐦🦭

Pelicans, frigatebirds, and even sea lions gather, hoping for a tasty freebie. 🐚

It’s a lively, authentic scene that captures the true spirit of island life. 🌴☀️🌊

Quito’s Botanical Garden is a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. 🌿🌸 Stroll through orchid houses 💐, cactus gardens 🌵, tranquil ponds, and themed zones like páramo 🏔️ and cloud forest ecosystems.

✨ Highlights include the rose garden 🌹, Japanese garden 🇯🇵🌼, bonsai exhibition 🌳, and a fascinating carnivorous plant house!

This is the Macaw Tree in Ecuador’s Amazon — a magical spot where vibrant Blue & Yellow macaws gather to feed. 🌳🦜💛💙

It’s one of the few places where you can quietly observe these shy, striking birds up close in their natural habitat. 🌿👀✨

A dream for wildlife photographers 📸, birdwatchers 🔭, and nature lovers 💚 alike — offering unforgettable moments of color, sound, and connection with the rainforest 🌴

Setting off on a horse-riding adventure 🐎 at Hacienda El Porvenir in Ecuador’s 🇪🇨 Cotopaxi region is all about the preparation! ✨

We get kitted out in traditional chaps, ponchos, and safety helmets 🪖 before heading into the foothills of the Rumiñahui Volcano 🌋.

With stunning views 👀, fresh mountain air, and wide open landscapes 🌄, it’s an unforgettable way to explore the Andes 🏔️—and a great activity for all the family! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💫

Did you know the Galapagos penguin is the only penguin species found north of the equator? 🐧🌎

Endemic to these islands, they’re fast swimmers, love to sunbathe on lava rocks ☀️🪨, and are surprisingly small! 😮

Spotting one in the wild is always a magical moment ✨🌊

Heading from Coca to one of the Amazon lodges along the Napo River is an adventure in itself. 🛶🌿✨

A motorized canoe carries you from the bustle of Coca deep into the serene heart of the rainforest. 🌳🦜

Along the way, you’ll pass reminders of the region’s oil activity—but soon, it’s just jungle, peace, and birdsong. 🍃🕊️

With cushioned seats, a roof for shade, and rain covers when needed, the ride is surprisingly comfortable. ☁️🛥️

Ready to journey into the Amazon? 🌎🐒🌈
