Avenue of the Volcanoes Tours & Trips
Imagine arriving in Quito, where churches crowd the old colonial streets, then standing with one foot in each hemisphere at Mitad del Mundo. Farther out, the hot pools at Papallacta sit high in the Andes, while Otavalo’s market fills with colour and woven textiles. Around Cotopaxi, the trails pass wild horses and open plains. This is one trip that will change your mindset forever.

My wife and I recently returned from an incredible trip to Ecuador, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate to have a private tour with Matteo, who was an absolutely outstanding guide throughout our days in Quito and on our day trips outside the city. His knowledge, energy, and attention to detail made every moment memorable. Our excursion to Cotopaxi was a major highlight. We chose to go horseback riding during the outing, which ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the trip. Our final day in Mindo was excellent as well, zip lining above the forest canopy was an unforgettable way to end our journey. Everything was coordinated smoothly, and whenever we had a question or a small hiccup, Jeferson responded quickly and made sure everything stayed on track. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Ecuador.

Our guide, Jose was excellent. He was very informative and entertaining and kept 16 passengers on schedule for the entire trip! Even on rainy days we were able make all the stops. Carlos was a very safe driver and told us he would not be talking during times when he needed to concentrate on the road.
