A 5-day Family Vacation to Ecuador: Relaxing Coast and Adventurous Peaks

Day 1: Getting familiar to Ecuador

Ecuador is a very quiet and relaxing place for a family oriented vacation. Once you reach the airport, your guide will greet you at the exit door. With him, drive to your hotel where delectable welcome drinks and luscious meals await you in a luxurious room. Get time out of the remaining day and explore Quito’s local streets on foot. A quick wander is all you need to make your day.

Day 2: Climbing up through a cable car

After having a relaxing day in Ecuador, it’s finally the time to bring much-awaited “wow” moment for your kids. Take them out for an exciting volcano climbing through a cable car. If they have never tried such a thing, they are going to love it. The majestic snow-capped peaks of the Western Andes add tons of value to the scenic beauty of Ecuador. It’s a 4,000-meter viewpoint and 360 degrees of the sublime landscape is incredibly stunning to witness in person. Let your family explore it all from the sky-high height while enjoying a ride through a cable car. Once done with this, take a short tour to the city and end it all with a scrumptious lunch at San Francisco Square.

Day 3: The adventure of the island and relaxing day on the coast

Wake up early in the morning because today you are going to fly to one of the great places of Ecuador. A short flight will take you to the lap of strange volcanic peaks that you can spot shimmering beneath the wingtips. Land down in Baltra from where you will be transferred to a luxurious lodge for relaxation. The lodge will offer 360-degree open views to oceans which makes you closer to the sound of sea lions coming from huge lapping waves. Explore the luxurious space of the lodge before exploring the peaks.

Day 4: Spot the Giant Tortoises of Santa Cruz

If kids are a part of your Ecuador family vacation tour, you need to visit the famous resplendent highlands of Santa Cruz. While entering into the Cruz, make sure your kids step in gently and quietly as this is highly requested from the visitors. Spot the giant Tortoise who reside there gracefully. They have a great sense of detecting movements. They do so with the vibrations of the land. No matter how slowly you put your steps, they will detect it instantly and shake their necks to reflect the same. Let your kids spend some time with the tortoises. After this, you can go for a lunch at Highlands followed by a short trip to Los Gemelos.

Day 5: A free day on the island

As the day passes, you will find the morning mist quickly clearing for a fresh new morning at Galapagos. Today, you can spend a day on your own in the island. Simply step out and start exploring the island by foot. If get tired, hire a taxi and make it stop wherever you want. Relax on the beach or enjoy a day in the grand parks, explore the local streets or look for delectable meal providing restaurants, the choice is all yours. Spend the last day in Galapagos freely at a leisurely pace.
