Ecuador: The diversity of Ecuador

Adventure trip to the cultures and highlights of the smallest Andean country

  • Adventure trip to the cultures and highlights of the smallest Andean country
  • Colonial old towns and traditional markets
  • Visit to a Kichwa community and gain insight into the life of the indigenous tribe
  • Snow-capped volcanoes, scenic crater lagoons, lush rainforest and more
  • Visit to the cultures of the Andes and the Amazon Basin.


For centuries, Ecuador has been home to diverse cultures. One of America’s first sedentary cultures, the Valdivia culture, made its home here. Also, the arm of the Inca did not reach all the way to the north, which allowed many cultures to retain their independence. Today the descendants of 13 different ethnic groups still live in Ecuador. They were able to preserve many of their original traditions and customs, which are just as diverse as the scenic regions of Ecuador. This trip takes you into this multifaceted nature and culture. From the high Andes you travel down to the Amazon lowlands. Once surrounded by snow-capped Andean peaks, now the lush green of the rainforest dominates. Just in time to attend a waterfall ceremony in the Amazon, A short time later, admire the different, colorful costumes at a highland market. Come with us and experience the fascinating diversity of the small Andean country.

Otavalo is home to the Otavaleños, who are one of the few indigenous cultures to have made it to prosperity in the world. The rich and colorful textiles for which they are known have helped in particular. We can get an idea of ​​​​this today when we visit the well-known market and browse through the gigantic range. With this colorful visit we leave the north of Ecuador and drive down over the Andes. The highest point is reached at 4,050 m and a short time later we reach Papallacta. The small town is particularly known for the most beautiful bathing facility in the country, which is fed by the hot thermal water. But not only the springs fascinate, also the environment in which the evergreen paramo vegetation defies the altitude and the peaks of the Andes stretch into the air. We are now moving further and further away from them. The landscape seems to change around almost every curve and it is not uncommon for a fantastic view of the wide green sea of ​​leaves of the Amazon lowlands to open up. Here in the fringe area between the Andes and the Amazon, the lodge and base for the next few days is located in the middle of a private protective forest.

– Visit to the Otavalo Handicrafts Market
– Entrance to the Public Thermal Baths

On a hike we discover the protected rainforest of the lodge. First we hike up through secondary forest and soon reach the untouched primary forest. Even if our European eye can see little difference in the vast green, our nature guide will show the peculiarities of the forest with his trained eye and point out the importance of different plants e.g. B. as a remedy. We then experience how the fruits of the jungle can taste during a typical lunch. Dessert is also provided, so we learn from the experts at Pacari how strong chocolate is made from local cocoa beans. Of course, the end product can also be tasted.
The rest of the afternoon is then dedicated to relaxation: take a refreshing dip in the pool or swing in a hammock. If that is too relaxed for you, you can also explore the area around the lodge on one of the signposted paths.

– Rainforest hike
– Introduction to chocolate making

Already at dawn we start today – we canoe along the Arajuno River to explore the awakening nature. We keep an eye out for herons, tanagers and many more along the banks. We can observe numerous parakeets, but also parrots – assuming a bit of luck with the weather – at a salt lick. Continue by canoe to the indigenous community of Santa Barbara, inhabited by 23 Quichua families. In addition to an insight into the life of the Quichua in the Amazon today, we also get a small taste of the local culinary specialties – freshly caught fish, fried yuka (cassava) and madura bananas, salad from palm hearts, guayusa tea, fruits and cocoa can be tasted. Everything is homegrown and freshly caught or harvested.
From the small community we continue to the jungle town of Misahualli, where you will be served a typical “Almuerzo” – lunch – in a small restaurant. After a short walk we return to the lodge in the afternoon.

Our journey takes us to Puyo in the south. We visit the sanctuary “Yanacocha”, where we can discover some of the otherwise very shy jungle dwellers, such as ocelots, parrots and caimans. With your visit you support the important work of this project, while at the same time you can observe some of the most beautiful animals of the rainforest, which are otherwise very difficult to spot in the dense green of the jungle. While most travelers leave the Amazon lowlands here and head back up into the Andes, we travel further south. Our drive takes us past distant Andean peaks like Sangay that tower over the Amazon lowlands. We reach the tranquil jungle town of Macas and a little further our next accommodation.

After the Quichua, today we visit another indigenous people who live in the Amazon lowlands of Ecuador – the Shuar. Once feared as belligerent and bizarre due to their shrunken-head tradition, the Shuar are now a thing of the past. They have retained a deep bond with their homeland and so we explore the forest with a Shuar guide and hike to a waterfall, including a protective symbol against the evil spirits of the forest and a waterfall ceremony. We can enjoy a typical lunch before returning to the Andean highlands. Our journey past the lagoons of Atillo and the active Sangay on one side and the green treetops of the Amazon region on the other side will be promising.

Today’s tour takes us high up. Theoretically, the Chimborazo with its 6,310 m is even the highest mountain on earth. The reason for this is the elliptical shape of the globe, which means that the Chimborazo – measured from the center of the earth – would be the highest elevation in the world. But we don’t want to go that high, the Carrel Hut at 4,800 m is enough for us. If you want, you can also climb to the Whymper Hut, 200 meters higher, but we especially want to enjoy the picturesque Andean landscape on the slopes of the Chimborazo. Let’s also keep an eye out for llamas, alpacas and the shy vicuñas! In the late afternoon you will reach the small town of Latacunga.

– Visit to the Chimborazo Conservation Area

A short drive takes us to the community of La Victoria, known for its traditional ceramic production. Visit one of the many small art workshops where the ceramics are still made by hand. We continue to the Andean market of Zumbahua and immerse ourselves in the market activity, which seems loud and chaotic to us. The journey continues to the crater lagoon Quilotoa in the eastern Andes Cordillera. Arrived at the crater lagoon, which is considered one of the most beautiful lagoons in Ecuador and South America, we continue on foot. On our hike we can admire the changing views of the mountain landscapes with the crater lagoon, which shimmers blue, green or turquoise depending on the position of the sun. Overnight in the nearby community of Chugchilan.

We return to the Panamericana, where two highlights await us: First, we immerse ourselves in colonial history with a visit to the 400-year-old Hacienda La Cienega. The colonial main building is magnificently situated surrounded by the flower garden and mighty trees. Walking through the hacienda, it is easy to think back to the colonial era. Then it goes to the most beautiful volcano in Ecuador – the Cotopaxi. With an almost perfect cone shape, the second highest in Ecuador rises from the Andes Cordillera. We drive to the Limpiopungo National Park and Lagoon, where we can not only hike through nature but also enjoy the views of the mighty volcano when the weather is good.
Finally we return to Quito.

About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066

We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.

Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.

In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
