LEAD Adventures has been around since 2004 and knows Ecuador intimately!
We are passionate about Ecuador & Galapagos. We are specialists. LEAD Adventures does not believe agencies can offer people an authentic experience of a place unless they really know it themselves. Most agencies abroad are part of big tourism corporations and have lost the unique personal touch our kinds of experiences require.
That is why LEAD chooses to focus all their attention on a small number of places. We do not do experiences of the world; we do experiences of Ecuador & Galapagos and we do them very well.
So far we have given over 3300 people just like you an adventure in South America that they will never forget.
We can build you a custom made experience that gives you a unique opportunity to live and work in a local South community making a real difference to people’s lives and the environment. Live with like minded participants, quickly make new friends and experience Ecuador as it really is.
LEAD Adventures is a legally established organization (Ecuador Tax ID #:1792027039001).
