South Expeditions/Travel Ecuador
Travel Ecuador organizes trips in Ecuador’s mainland and the Galapagos Islands. It can arrange all kinds of trips, from rafting through the Amazon to visits to age old luxury haciendas and crater lakes in the Andes. It has trips designed for every taste and style that include cultural city tours, hiking, biking, kayaking, shopping, walking, horse riding, sightseeing and more. In all of our trips, we seek to make the least environmental impact and the most economic impact on local people. We recently launched a program called “Building Blocks for a Better Life” which aims to help build classrooms in schools in the areas in which we operate. South Expeditions believes that we can make immediate changes to stop the degradation of our environment. We believe in the power of little acts to affect big changes, such as offering an interest-free loan to operators in Galapagos to change from two-stroke to four-stroke engines, thus reducing pollution and making fuel-consumption more efficient. Years ago, we developed a recycling manual for our operations that is now close to becoming reality in many parts of Ecuador. That manual emphasizes the importance of not buying or consuming products that come in packages that are not recyclable.
