Travel Ecuador

Gap Year Brochure
Travelling to Ecuador is an excellent gap year choice for many reasons. Travel to Ecuador is a particularly popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts who head to Ecuador’s unique, wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands. There are so many more reasons for an Ecuador gap year than simply the Galapagos Islands however. For example if you travel to Ecuador you could experience the excitement of a full-on jungle expedition.

If you travel to Ecuador with Real Gap all of our programmes include four hours a day Spanish tuition. Being able to speak some Spanish makes life far easier when you travel Ecuador. If you travel to Ecuador you can also get involved with some of Real Gap’s most rewarding Ecuador volunteer programmes. For example you could travel Ecuador and work in the Galapagos Islands on a Giant Tortoise conservation project, care for street kids or help teach English in local schools.
