Here are our top picks.
Mountain Biking
Extreme mountain biking is a must-do in Ecuador. If you’re feeling wild, take on the Mama Rumi trail. It’s full of twists and turns and was once used for smuggling alcohol.
Whitewater Kayaking
Kayaking in the Amazon River is not for the faint of heart. The rapids are extreme and only the brave take them on during the high season.
Rock Climbing
In Quito, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to rock climbing trips and facilities. You can take routes through the Andes and see the beautiful country from great heights.
Scuba Diving
For scuba diving, head to the Galapagos islands. It’s one of the best places in the world to dive and you will see all sorts of marine life.
Kitesurfing
Ecuador is a great place for kitesurfing because the conditions of some of the beaches are perfect. You’ll need strong winds so it’s best to head out in fall.
