Ecuador Andean Highlands Tours & Trips
The Andean highlands deserve far more exploration beyond just Machu Picchu. The region covers Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador's mountain areas, so you’re experiencing Cusco and Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca, and La Paz's chaotic energy. Explore Quechua and Aymara cultures that have maintained traditions, and markets selling alpaca goods and produce. This is where Inca and pre-Inca civilizations thrived, and the history's everywhere.

My 8-days trip to Ecuador was unexpectedly and uniquely enjoyable, some of which was a Cotopaxi volcano hike, swimming in a lagoon under a waterfall, visiting a Vayuri Indian community, and a canoe ride. Unexpected was having a chocolate tasting session at a Swissotel in Quito and finding an art store near Quilotoa Lagoon where I bought two beautiful paintings by a local artist. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful in managing excursions and paying attention to my dietary needs while helping to order food in restaurants. What I would have changed is having cars' windows closed with air conditioning on because of the bad air quality while on the road. Overall, I am happy that I chose to go on this particular trip.

This was a fantastic tour! Josue and Diego were amazing, so attentive to every detail, taking us on great trails with wonderful views and a variety of terrain, some quite challenging but never too much. They were also so personable and caring that I genuinely miss their company. The places we stayed were also great..lots of charm, lovely people, and delicious food!
