Ecuador Free Time
How much free time is there during the program?
Ample time is available on evenings and weekends to enjoy the numerous nearby natural and cultural attractions.
What are free-time options?
 In addition to the many museums and markets in Quito, tourists often venture a couple hours north of the city to visit Otavalo, an Indian village and market. To the south are opportunities to see llamas, wild horses and beautiful landscapes. For the strong and adventurous, there is the 16,000-foot Cotopaxi Mountain, which offers a challenging, rigorous hike. There are also opportunities for one-day excursions to the equator, which is less than an hour away.
Will Global Volunteers arrange free time for me?
No. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, Global Volunteers is prohibited from making non-program-related arrangements for you. However, our team leaders and consultants can provide general guidance and advice, including a list of activities explored and enjoyed by previous teams.
Can Global Volunteers recommend a free-time tour operator?
Our partnership with JOURNEYS International affords you a seamless add-on experience in the host country. Further, JOURNEYS donates $100 to Global Volunteers programs worldwide for each trip booked.
