Global Routes: Summer in Ecuador & the Amazon

Beyond biodiversity, explore Ecuador’s cultural diversity as you work in collaboration with indigenous advocacy organizations across the country.

Contained within the borders of one small country are the headwaters of the Amazon, the snow-capped volcanoes of the Andes, and Darwin’s Galapagos Islands. Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world! It has a remarkable variety of habitats and is as rich culturally as it is geographically.

Discover Ecuador firsthand as you meet the indigenous peoples of the High Sierra, trek through clouds in the high Andes, and celebrate the vibrancy of rural family life.

Key highlights:

• Trek from the Andes to the Cloud Forest, exploring the incredible biodiversity in this region.
• Improve your Spanish as you work side by side with hosts on reforestation projects.
• Explore the Amazon basin; traverse the rainforest in one of the world’s most biodiverse jungles.
