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
and Cuicocha Volcano, Imbabura and Cajas mountains. It is a place where nature and culture is mixed.

“Day Trip To See Middle of the World and Quito”
Gustavo (Gus) was on time to meet us at our hotel after our arrival at the airport. He was pleasant and talkative and very informative. He was easy to understand. He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of his city and the surrounding areas. He arranged our activities with perfect precision, which allowed us to see everything we wanted in the short time we were there. He graciously arranged this tour to fit our timeframe. We arrived in the early afternoon, with the tour lasting 7 hours. He took us around and dropped us off at our hotel at 8pm. We can't thank him enough for working late into the evening. The tour was fabulous. We started off at the Intinan museum and Globe at the Middle of the World. Then it was off to Old Town Quito. We enjoyed the square and went inside 3 churches. He spoke of their history and architectural styles. He was so knowledgeable. He was terrific driving through the city. The last stop was going to El Panecillo hill to see the Virgin Mary statue. It was so beautiful at night, as was the city lit up below. Thank you Gustavo. We wish you much continued success. You are the best.

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.
