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.

“Two fantastic days in Quito”
We had two fantastic days in Quito with Gustavo. Getting to experience Quito and the surrounding area with Gustavo was a real treat. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and traditions of that area of Ecuador. His recommendation for La Gloria for dinner was spot on. After two days together we felt like extended part of Gustavo's family. Taking those two tours with Gustavo should be on everyone's to do list in Quito. Thanks Gustavo Mike, Eveline and Ron!

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.
