In the morning you will visit one of the most beautiful cities in South America.

Quito was declared Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978. Its wonderful architecture is reflected in its plazas, streets, houses and churches and will be the best excuse for walking in a great atmosphere. La Basilica church, Plaza Grande, La Compañia Church and San Francisco plaza are part of your experience in this magic city. 

After this visit you will take a 45 minutes driving to arrive to another great place THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD where you can take a picture on the Equator Line with one foot in the north and another foot in the south hemisphere. Back to the hotel in the afternoon. Dinner

The Otavalo Market is one of the most important indigenous markets in South America for its diversity and culture. The market day tour is a wonderful way to discover the famous indigenous handcrafts made by the local people.

The main market day in Otavalo is Saturday; however, this tour can be operated everyday of the week. Our professional guide will provide you an explanation of the indigenous people of this area, such as the Quitu, Cara and other pre-Inca groups, and some extra information of the city.

Afterwards, we’ll visit the indigenous workshops where we can see and learn about their culture and traditions and how they make the beautiful handcrafts. Our last stop will be Cotacachi, a town famous for its leather garm

The Cotopaxi volcano, an almost perfect snow cone that stands at 5,897 meters of altitude is something unique on the planet and is perhaps, along with Galápagos, the greatest symbol of our natural geography recognized throughout the world.

Thousands of mountaineers of all nationalities have achieved their summit and many others

dream of doing it. Because it is located in the center of the Inter-Andean alley and very close to several cities such as Quito and Latacunga, the Cotopaxi National Park is one of the most visited and surely where many people touch snow for the first time.

The imposing Cotopaxi, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, dominates the whole landscape of the protected area, which also includes two smaller ones, Morurco (4,880 m), close to Cotopaxi, and Rumiñahui (4,722 m), as well very closely. 

The Cotopaxi is located in the area called “Avenue of the Volcanoes”, name that the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt in 1802 gave to the set of volcanoes of the central and northern Sierra of Ecuador. The predominant ecosystem in the park is the páramo, with its special flora and fauna, so the main vegetation is pajonal and small shrubs of height.

Satiate your curiosity for the Amazon rainforest, learn new things and most importantly, have fun and relax with friends and family in one of the most established jungle lodges in Ecuador. 

Each day on the Napo River promises new adventure: the monkeys you spot out on the way to activities, the local community you witness; and the raft you build with your own hands. As the sun sets over La Casa del Suizo head to the swimming pool to gaze at the stunning jungle view, relaxing into the night.

Butterfly House

This living exhibition of local butterflies currently houses and serves as the mating ground for nearly 20 species from the surrounding areas. You’ll be able to observe and examine how these beautiful creatures are fed, raised and undergo metamorphosis. In addition, you’ll have the chance to enter our “winged room” where hundreds of butterflies, in a multitude of colours, flutter about

Baños de Agua Santa is a small town that rises between the central Andes and the Amazon of Ecuador, eight kilometers from the crater of the Tungurahua volcano. Baños according to historical data, had no founder or any foundation date. When the Spaniards first came to this site, they called it IPO in the Puruhá language, which is why it is considered to have originated in the Puruháes villages.

Visit the Pailón del Diablo (The Devil’s Cauldron)

Baños has countless waterfalls, and the most renowned is the Pailón del Diablo or the Devil’s Couldron. Though it’s real name is the Green River Waterfall the most popular name by which people call it is the Devil’s Cauldron. This is one of the highest waterfalls in the country at 80 meters (262 ft) high and a depth of 20 meters (66 ft).

Enjoy the balconies (from where you can admire the waterfall), the suspension bridge and Heaven’s Crack (a naturally formed crack that brings you to the back of the devil’s cauldron waterfall), these are must see attractions that make Baños de Agua Santa a place to visit.
