An echo of a wave is exactly the same type of wave as the original wave. An echo is simply the original wave returning to the observer, so if you made a sound (a longitudinal wave of vibrating air molecules), the echo is also sound waves.

An echo is a sound wave that is reflected off a surface and heard again. It is a type of longitudinal wave, which means that the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
