The top 3 places for adventure tourism in Ecuador – South America.
Ecuador is nestled in the Andes cordillera. It is located in latitude 0 and bathed by ocean currents coming both from North and South. Therefore it is a country which has a geographical location without parallel for all adventure tourism activities and sports.
In addition, the country is blessed with good weather almost 365 days a year.
Just to name a few of the reasons why this country is such a hotspot for adventure tourism not only for locals but also by international media.
A couple of weeks ago I shared the article “An expert’s guide to adventure tourism in Ecuador“, with an interview to Dr. Mario Ochoa Larrea, director of Ecu 10 + A. A project extremely important not only with regards to the promotion of adventure tourism in the country, but also of a healthy lifestyle.
I got some of the best information as well as a list of top places for adventure tourism in Ecuador!
If you are in South America I would love to see your pictures.

This is fantastic! I didn’t realise Ecuador had so much to offer in regards to adventure sports. Banos de Agua Santa sounds awesome!
I loved Ecuador! We spent most of our time in the Galapagos Islands, though I would love to head back to discover the mainland 🙂 Super big on adventure sports so Banos de Agua Santa sounds right up my alley! Thanks for the inspiration X
