Ecuador is a mountainous country where the weather can be unpredictable. We plan our holidays to avoid problems caused by weather. However, occasionally flights are cancelled, or roads become blocked, meaning that a change in your holiday may be required. If this happens, we will make sure suitable alternative arrangements are made when possible, but we cannot be held responsible for the weather or for disruptions caused by bad or unusual weather conditions.
