Gap Year in Ecuador |
 | A gap year in Ecuador offers some of South America’s most exciting travel experiences. If you travel in Ecuador you can trek in the Andes, discover the beautiful city of Quito and explore jungles full of incredible wildlife. Another highlight of a gap year in Ecuador is a visit to the Galapagos Islands – which contain some of the world’s most unique wildlife. An excellent way to ensure you see as much as possible on a gap year in Ecuador is to travel there on one of Real Gap’s adventure expeditions – which combine the essential sights with travel ‘off the beaten track.’
A particularly rewarding gap year option is to volunteer in Ecuador. Real Gap has a number of hugely rewarding programmes you could get involved with on a gap year in Ecuador – from environmental projects on the Galapagos Islands to volunteer with children helping some of Ecuador’s impoverished street kids. All of Real Gap’s Ecuador gap year programmes also include comprehensive Spanish tuition.
