  • C

    Clare

    Asked on September 1st, 2026

    I'm interested in booking the Mar 7, 2027 tour. Nothing comes up when I click on Dates & Availability. The screen doesn't give any info...Sold out, etc. Is there room on this tour for 1 traveler?

    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2026

      We do have availability on the 7 March 2027 date.

    • C

      Clare

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      If I fly in a couple days early, where should I stay? It looks like the first nights hotel is at the airport and not in the town of Quito. Is that correct?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2026

      The start hotel is Sandmelis Hotel in Quito. We do offer pre-hotel bookings.

    • C

      Clare

      Traveler•Written September 2026

      My flight will arrives at 3:00am. How long does it take to get to the Sandmelis hotel? Does the hotel have a shuttle? I don't see one listed. Is it safe taking Uber by myself at that time of day? I also see the age range of people on the trip is 18-39. Does that mean there won't be older adults?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2026

      It is recommended to fly into Quito, so it will take 45-60 mins depending on traffic. We can add on an arrival transfer to the booking for $60 USD from the airport to the hotel. It is a private transfer. Yes, the tour is strict on the age requirements to join, so there will not be anyone on the trip over the age of 39.
