Ecuador is a very religious country. His faith has crossed borders so much that the sanctuary of Las Lajas is visited daily by Catholic believers from Ecuador. People have great faith in the Virgin of Las Lajas and show their favors are the thousands of pictures that are stuck on the rocks around the church. It is almost a tradition that entire families visit the Sanctuary on more than one occasion.

“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 listened to to requests throughout the day and always had answers and information for every question. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Otavalo, Indigenous, culture, traditions and markets.
Otavaleños are people who are in the world. They learned how to make textiles from their ancestors and they improved the result. 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.
