Ecuador
Ecuador is an incomparable destination for natural, cultural, historical, and modern settings.
From your arrival, the warm and friendly locals will have you feeling like you have been welcomed home, making it not just a unique tourist destination but also where business can be conducted professionally and in a cordial atmosphere.
Ecuador is one of the most stable countries in all of Latin America and thanks to its smaller size, the landscapes that encompass the Amazon Jungle, Andean highlands, the wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands, and the Pacific Coast are easier to reach than you can imagine.
In the cities of Quito and Guayaquil, outstanding events can be prepared with authentic experiences in the Andean countryside or the sunny Pacific Coast.
Meetings can be organized in the most ideal locations in historical haciendas or the midst of the Avenue of the Volcanoes. In a country of four exceptional worlds, you cannot go wrong choosing Ecuador for your MICE travel needs.
