Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands have almost an embarrassment of riches, an influence and reputation far beyond their physical size. Natural beauties range from the world's deepest and densest rainforest in the east, across mountain landscapes patchworked into tiny fields by indigenous Indians, over the world's second-highest volcano and skim Pacific waters to Darwin's 'Natural Laboratory' of the Galapagos.

Abercrombie & Kent's selection of Ecuador or Galapagos family holidays or Galapagos family cruises with gets you closer to the remarkable people, places and wildlife that make the country such a rich travel destination.
