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.

Mindo for watching birds and cloud forest
One hour out of Quito there is a zone where cloud forest show us a big variety of wild life specially humming birds. There are some places where people installed some feeders and planted flowers where birds look for food. People who likes orchids could not find a better place to see many of these plants. There is a center to look at hundreds of butterflies. Sports are also another part of these tour, Zip line or Canopy could be an option for people who wants to do it.

Cotopaxi to admire the power of the nature.
Cotopaxi is the highest active volcano in Ecuador It is located at two hours from the city of Quito. It is within the same name National Park. To be in 4500 meters above sea level means We can have rain, snow, wind or sun in a variation of 5 minutes. I always suggest you to walk like a baby step by step because it helps to acclimate our body . To be in mountains is a great experience you will feel the power of the nature.

“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!

Hi there! I’m a tour guide and explorer based in the Central Andes of Ecuador. Over the years, I’ve explored mountains, trails, and hidden routes connecting the Andes with the Coast and the Amazon—by 4x4, bike, public transport, and even on foot. Living here has given me the chance to build a real connection with local communities, nature, and the culture that makes this region so special. I also bring nearly 15 years of experience working on cultural projects, museums, and heritage spaces in Quito and across Ecuador, which adds depth and context to every tour. Alongside classic destinations like Otavalo, Mitad del Mundo, Quilotoa, Papallacta, and Mindo, I love creating experiences with a fresh perspective—taking you beyond the usual spots into beautiful, lesser-known places. For me, traveling is about truly experiencing a place, not just visiting it.
