A kid-friendly vacation to Ecuador offers a combination of jungle, mountains, colorful cities, the Galápagos Islands and colonial history — all in one place. That’s why many seasoned travelers, especially those with children, consider it one of the best destinations in the world and well worth a spot on your bucket list. Families can do everything from ziplining in the Amazon to volunteering in local community centers. The choices in accommodations are just as diverse as the country itself. Cruise around the Galápagos on a kid-friendly ship, book a luxury hotel in Quito and maybe even try out a monastery stay.

"Katie went above & beyond for our family. We had a spectacular trip. I appreciate how Katie understood our needs as a family and gave me realistic feedback.
