About Ecuador

Usually used as a stepping stone to the Galapagos Islands. The landscape is that varied you can take you pick, all in one day.

Got Car, Now Go Driving

One of the most iconic drives in Ecuador is the Avenue of the Volcanoes, which runs south from Quito through the central highlands. This route passes towering volcanoes like Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, and takes you through towns such as Latacunga, Ambato, and Riobamba. The scenery includes snow-capped peaks, green valleys, and high-altitude lakes.

Another great drive is the Spondylus Route along the Pacific coast. Starting in Esmeraldas and heading south to Huaquillas, you pass beach towns like Canoa, Puerto Lopez, and Salinas. The road hugs the shoreline and offers ocean views, seafood stops, and laid-back surf culture.

For a mix of coast and mountains, try the drive from Manta to Quito via Santo Domingo and Otavalo. You begin at sea level and climb into the Andes, passing through cloud forests and indigenous markets.

The route from Riobamba to Banos to Puyo is also stunning. It starts in the highlands, descends through waterfall country in Banos, and ends in the edge of the Amazon basin in Puyo. The change in landscape is dramatic and unforgettable.

If you want something remote and rugged, the Quilotoa Loop between Isinlivi and Chugchilan offers deep canyons, quiet villages, and panoramic views of the Andes.
