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.

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.

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.

“Amazing City Tour in Quito with Gustavo!”
We had an incredible experience with Gustavo during our brief stopover in Quito on the way back from the Galápagos Islands. With a few hours to spare before our evening flight, we decided to book a city tour, and it turned out to be the perfect way to spend our free morning. From the start, everything ran like clockwork. Gustavo was an exceptional guide, full of knowledge about the city and its history. He tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we got the most out of our limited time. The sights were beautiful, and it felt like we truly got to experience the heart of Quito. One of the standout moments was how Gustavo adjusted the schedule to ensure we were back at the airport on time, without feeling rushed. His attention to detail and professionalism really made a difference and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you find yourself in Quito with some free time, I highly recommend this tour. It was an unforgettable way to explore the city, and we are so grateful to Gustavo for arranging such a seamless and memorable experience!

“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.

Gustavo customized our tour to meet our requests of experiences. We went to Quiloa for the indigenous experience, Banos for the uplifting and birding experiences and Cotopaxi for the volcano experience. Gustavo was helpful, informative and accommodating. I highly recommend having Gustavo as your guide.

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.
