Ecuador is a breathtaking equatorial country and a dreamy holiday destination for nature lovers. It showcases diverse landscapes that feature lush forestry, wildlife-rich highlands, breathtaking beaches, and busy metropolitan areas. Its capital city, Quito, boasts a rich cultural heritage and stunning colonial architecture. Adventure seekers and curious tourists make sure to visit the famous “City Middle of the World” monument. Also, Ecuador is home to the gorgeous Galapagos Islands, graced by the crystal-clear waters of the Pacific Ocean. On the western end of the country, lies the coastal city of Salinas, famed for its beaches and humpback-whale sightings. There is no shortage of fun things to do and places to visit. Browse through this list of the best all-inclusive resorts in Ecuador.

Popular picks in Ecuador

  • Check out the Calderon Park, one of the oldest squares in Cuenca dating back to the 16th century. This lively place is also the prime venue for several events and festivals.

  • Adventure enthusiasts can visit Cajas National Park where you can try kayaking, camping, boating, and other activities.

Travel advisory

  • While tourist areas in Ecuador are generally safe, exercise caution elsewhere due to crime, kidnappings, and civil unrest. According to the U.S. Department of State, avoid traveling to Guayaquil, Huaquillas, Arenillas, Quevedo, Quinsaloma, Pueblo Viejo, Duran, and Esmeraldas due to crimes.
