About the trip
This 14-night small-group tour with Explore Worldwide begins in Tumbaco, near Ecuador’s high-altitude capital Quito. The early days take you north to Otavalo’s indigenous market and panpipe makers, then on to the turquoise crater lake of Cuicocha with its soaring condors. You’ll dip into cloud forest around Mindo with hummingbirds and waterfalls, before a day around Quito’s colonial churches and the viewpoint of Cerro Panecillo.
