We begin our day with a visit of one of the most beautiful parts of Quito – The Historic Old Town, located in the center of Quito. The name itself resonates with wonder and romances! Designated by UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage Site, this city is regarded as the most beautiful and stylish one in the Andes.

Our next stop is The Panecillo (the little bread loaf), rising over the southern edge of the old town and crowned by a magnificent 30-m (98-ft) high statue of the Virgen of Quito. A long flight of steps leads to the summit. Here Quito presents itself, spread out like a blanket of pearl white miniature houses enclosed by green hills.

In the afternoon, our guide will take you to the Equator! Take your picture at the Mitad del Mundo as you stand simultaneously in both the Southern and the Northern Hemispheres. Learn about the rich culture of Ecuador with a visit to the equator museum. During our stop at Museum Intiyan, you can see for yourself the uniqueness of this midpoint. Watch the water swirl down the drain clockwise and counter-clockwise, or defy gravity by balancing an egg on the tip of a nail.

Booking this transportation was worth it! Marco was an excellent driver. I would definitely book again if I needed to do so.

Amazing time. The food was great, we saw lots of animals (multiple species of monkeys, agouti, capybara, giant river otter, snakes, birds, etc), we saw a jaguar footprint, and we were able to catch lots of fish (the chefs prepared some of the fish and kept the piranha jaws for us). Several times large arapima swam by in the river and hit their tails on the surface. The staff also provided us with bait for fishing when ever it was requested. We were the only people at the lodge during our trip so we were also offered access to a canoe and paddle boards whenever we wanted. Our guide, Jefferson, was very knowledgeable and has written a book about Ecuador as well.

The trip was so much more than I was expecting. There were a lot of activities that I wasn’t even aware that we were going to have. It was lots of fun! I was a solo traveler, and everyone on the trip were great people to spend time with. I enjoyed all of our accommodations except one, but even with that, the place was in a good location. This was definitely 5 Stars from me!
