    A week in Ecuador allows for a taste of its diverse regions. A popular itinerary combines the Galapagos Islands (requiring a separate flight and significant budget) with the Andes, exploring Quito's colonial centre and perhaps venturing to the cloud forests.

Cuenca, another charming colonial city, is also easily accessible for a weekend trip.
  • Are there specific regions in Ecuador known for great weather?

    Ecuador's weather varies significantly depending on altitude and region. The coastal areas generally enjoy warm, tropical weather year-round.
