Founded in 1994, Tropic Journeys
in Nature is an award–winning
ecotourism company specializing in
responsible, community-based tourism
through high-quality operations and
exceptional service in Ecuador. Guests
visit the most spectacular natural
areas of the country in the company
of its native peoples, practicing the
philosophy that one of the best ways
of conserving an area - whether it be
the Ecuador Amazon, the Galapagos
Islands, the high Andes or a cloud
forest – is to engage the participation
of native, local people in creating
the magic of an eco-vacation. Locals’
vested interest in travelers’
experiences assists the goal of
preserving their culture and
landscape. Programs combine lifechanging, active-but-cultural
ecotourism experiences focusing
on nature, conservation, diversity
and sustainability.
Disclosure: My trip to Quito was
self-funded, but the tour of Quito was
provided complimentary by Tropics.
