Highlights

Most tours pack in so many stops that you end up spending half the trip in a car. Ours is different — every destination on this route gets the time it deserves, so you actually experience Ecuador instead of just passing through it. Over 4 or 5 days, travel the legendary Avenue of the Volcanoes from Quito to Cuenca with a private bilingual guide. Hike the slopes of Cotopaxi, stand at the edge of Quilotoa's crater lake, feel the thunder of Pailón del Diablo, take in the drama of Devil's Nose, explore the Inca ruins of Ingapirca, and arrive in colonial Cuenca — never rushed, always immersed. Come home saying "I really felt like I was there." Highlights - Unhurried exploration along the iconic Avenue of the Volcanoes - Expert local guides who know every trail, story, and hidden detail along the route - Experience local indigenous culture and markets firsthand - Small-group format for a personalized experience - Superior tour includes hand-picked boutique haciendas and top-rated hotels

About Quito

Quito, Ecuador's high Andean capital, has one of the best-preserved colonial centres in Latin America, ringed by volcanoes and green mountains.

The historic centre was among the very first places named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its churches, plazas and monasteries are spectacular. La Compañía de Jesús glows with gold leaf inside, the Basilica del Voto Nacional has gargoyles shaped like Ecuadorian animals, and Plaza Grande is surrounded by the cathedral and the presidential palace.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
