Frequently asked questions about lodges in Ecuador
Which attractions shouldn't be missed in Ecuador?
Ecuador offers incredible diversity! For a taste of the Andes, a visit to the historic centre of Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is essential. You can explore its colonial architecture and churches like the Basilica del Voto Nacional. Further south, Cuenca, another UNESCO site, boasts stunning architecture and a vibrant cultural scene. For something completely different, the Galapagos Islands are a must-see, offering unique wildlife encounters like giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. Don't forget the Amazon rainforest; Yasuni National Park offers incredible biodiversity and opportunities for jungle trekking and wildlife spotting.
What are the main arrival points by air for Ecuador?
Most international flights arrive at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito, or José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil. These are the two largest airports in the country and offer connections to most domestic destinations.
What parts of Ecuador are perfect for a week-long visit?
A week allows for a good balance. You could explore the Andes, visiting Quito and Cuenca, experiencing the colonial architecture and vibrant culture. Alternatively, you could combine the Andes with the Amazon, spending a few days in the rainforest before heading to Quito or Guayaquil.
What are the best lodges for families and kids in Ecuador?
Which parts of Ecuador are ideal for a weekend trip?
For a short trip, Quito offers a rich historical experience with its colonial old town and stunning views from the Teleferiqo cable car. Alternatively, Cuenca, with its charming atmosphere and beautiful architecture, is also a great option for a weekend getaway.
Are there any traditional greetings or practices in Ecuador?
A handshake is common, though a light kiss on the cheek between women, or women and men they know well, is also customary. It's polite to use 'usted' (formal 'you') when addressing elders or strangers. Showing respect for elders is highly valued.
Are there any major festivals specific to Ecuador's heritage?
Ecuador has many vibrant festivals. In February or March, the Carnaval celebrations involve water fights and parades. In November, the Inti Raymi, a celebration of the Inca sun god, is held, often with impressive ceremonies and traditional clothing. Many smaller local festivals also take place throughout the year, often linked to religious or agricultural cycles.
What ride-hailing options, including Uber, are available in Ecuador?
Uber operates in Quito and Guayaquil, but availability can vary. Other local ride-hailing apps are also available in these cities and others, such as Cabify.
