Their market is very famous all over the world that is the reason why when somebody comes Ecuador they know they can not miss this place. Avenue of volcanoes starts here, the opportunity of see Cayambe

“Historical tour of Quito”
Gustavo arrived on time at our Airbnb. We were interested in using the Metro to get around and he accommodated our request. He was very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We took the Teleferi cable car and he always checked in with us to make sure we were feeling ok at 4000 meters. We never felt rushed. When visiting the churches I had many questions and he was able to answer all my inquiries. I tried to stump him but he always had an answer. You could tell he was passionate about his work and country. I would definitely do another tour with him.

He was easy to communicate with before booking and coordinating arrival. Car was clean and arrived on time. He listened to to requests throughout the day and always had answers and information for every question. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely inquire about him on our next trip to Ecuador! Cable car was well worth the time.

Baños de Agua Santa and Cotopaxi volcano in 2 days
Baños de Agua Santa is the best place for sightseeing. Nature offers us the opportunity to be in direct contact walking towards waterfalls, climbing mountains, crossing ravines. Extreme sports such as rafting, canyoning, jumping are another of the activities for which Baños is that place made for everyone. The hot springs are the perfect reason for adults to take Baños as the perfect reason to leave home.
