Southern Ecuador is a region where culture and adventure blend seamlessly. In Loja, live like a local as you explore charming squares and its art scene, while nearby Saraguro offers a window into Indigenous traditions that are still proudly celebrated today. The colonial charm of Cuenca, with its cobbled streets and beautifully preserved architecture, contrasts beautifully with the ancient ruins of Ingapirca, Ecuador’s most important Inca archaeological site. And when it’s time for a little adventure, the cloud forests and high-altitude trails of Podocarpus National Park invite you to lace up your hiking boots and explore one of the country’s most biodiverse landscapes.
