CarpeDM Adventures Ecuador

Ecuador. Since 2007.

We've been showing travelers Ecuador for almost two decades. Slowly.

CarpeDM Adventures was born in 2007 from a single Dead Poets Society line and a chance run-in at a Quito hostel. Today we're the Top Recommended Tour Operator & Travel Agency Lonely Planet sends you to, G Adventures' Preferred Daytour Supplier for Ecuador, and the team behind two of the most respected lodges in the Cuyabeno Amazon. We didn't grow by going faster. We grew by going deeper.

What We Run

Three doors into Ecuador

Door One

Galapagos Cruises

A vetted fleet of catamarans and yachts. Last-minute deals, premium expeditions, and the small ships your guidebook doesn't know about. We've been matching travelers to the right boat for 18 years.

Door Two · Our Lodges

Cuyabeno Amazon

We're investors in Caiman Eco-Lodge (TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice) and Piranha Eco-Lodge. That means we control quality from arrival at Lago Agrio to your last sunset on the Laguna Grande.

Door Three

Ecuador Day & Multi-Day Tours

Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Mindo, Otavalo, Quito Old Town, Banos. The classics done right, with local guides, small groups, and the Slow Flow pace. Our day tour operation is also G Adventures' chosen Ecuador supplier.

The Slow Flow Movement

Less rushing. More noticing.

Slow Travel with room for spontaneity. Time to listen to your guide. Room for the unplanned moment that becomes the story you tell at home. That's Slow Flow, and it's the language our travelers tend to use when they describe what their CarpeDM trip felt like afterward.

You don't need more destinations.

You need experiences that stay with you. That's what we build, one traveler at a time, since 2007.

The Best Galapagos Cruises

So you have always dreamt of visiting Galapagos Islands, now is the time for you to start taking the first steps in planning the dream of a lifetime. While for most it means sifting through volumes of information, we like to take a reductionist approach, where “less is more” and “more is less.” This is where experience coupled with harnessing our relationships with our suppliers help to provide the most up-to-date, valuable insight in choosing the right cruise for you.
