While the Galapagos Islands may be the star of your bucket list, mainland Ecuador holds its own mesmerizing beauty. Bookending your cruise with private luxury tours of Guayaquil and Cuenca is the cherry on top of your adventure in Darwin’s paradise.
Begin your journey in Guayaquil, a vibrant port city and gateway to the Galapagos. Stroll along the iconic Malecón 2000 boardwalk, encounter the unique atmosphere of Parque Seminario (the Park of the Iguanas), and explore the history of Parque Histórico Guayaquil.
Beyond Guayaquil, stop for a luxurious (and delicious!) stay in Cuenca, the “land of eternal springtime” and one of Forbes’ Best Retirement Destinations. Amidst walkable cobblestone streets, French and Spanish architecture, charming markets, and riverfront parks, you may feel as though you’re in Europe—without the jet lag.
Quasar, with nearly four decades of expedition experience in Ecuador, seamlessly combines the magic of Galapagos with Ecuador’s southern gems. Let our local Guides show you the best of boundless beauty and culture on a private luxury tour, leaving no stone unturned.
For travelers seeking to avoid high-altitude destinations like Quito and the Andes, Guayaquil presents an enticing alternative. Situated at sea level, it offers lovely coastal weather and a shorter flight to the Galapagos Islands.
Meanwhile, Cuenca, known for its exquisite architecture and thriving culinary scene, draws history buffs and foodies alike. With Quasar's family-founded passion, you’ll be expertly guided to make the most of your time in Ecuador.
From vibrant coastal sunsets to farming communities built into lush mountaintops, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the number of Kodak moments in Guayaquil and Cuenca.
Your Southern Ecuador tour will also take you to “The Lord of the Rings”-esque Cajas National Park, a rugged expanse of Andean mountains and pristine lakes near Cuenca. Picture quirky wild llamas meandering along on gentle walks and hikes, with a backdrop of cascading waterfalls that rival Norway’s natural beauty.
Whether you choose R&R in Cuenca's boutique Spanish Colonial hotels or opt for the country charm of Guayaquil's familial haciendas, every journey is enhanced by the perfect balance of historic charm and modern luxury.
