Ecuador is a hidden gem for adventurers and after travelling on our own in Ecuador for 30 days we can officially state: it's an extremely underrated country and highly worth visiting. We rented the car to drive through the country on the Ecuador mainland and spent another two weeks on the amazing Galapagos Islands. I will share our route, places we visited, the budget spent on accommodation and food, and many more details day by day for you to decide whether you want to travel to Ecuador or not.
