Meeting Point

Your hotel (Quito)

Pintag Town

The first official stop, this rural area of Quito called Pintag is famous because of agriculture and cattle.

Laguna Secas

From this lookout it's possible to appreciate the massive lava spill produced centuries ago by Antisana Volcano, this amazing geological area has a lagoon too.

Condors Nests Lookouts

The condor has been a sacred bird for centuries. Our ancestors believed it was a messenger between the creators and us. During the Colonial Period, Spanish Conquerors, unfamiliar with the condor, thought it hunted sheep, cows, and horses, but it's actually a vulture. Sadly, this iconic bird is now endangered. In and around Antisana National Park, you can spot some of these majestic creatures.

Antisana National Park

Upon arrival at this protected area, notice the change in vegetation from cattle-grazed lands to the unique Páramo ecosystem, shared with Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. This ecosystem absorbs water from rain, clouds, and dew, slowly releasing it during dry seasons. Here, you'll find small bushes with flowers, medicinal plants, and wildlife such as hummingbirds, bees, and potentially small mammals like rabbits, Andean wolves, and white-tailed deer. With luck, you might even spot bears or pumas. We'll visit La Mica Lagoon, a haven for birdwatching, with Antisana Volcano and its glacier visible in the distance on clear days.
