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.

This tour was absolutely fantastic. Good itinerary & sightseeing inclusions, great value accommodation, comfortable transport, and our guide Kim was very friendly, organised and knowledgeable. Throughout the booking, Jeferson was incredibly helpful and responsive through the whole process. I will certainly be recommending Responsible Travel South America to friends and family. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

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.
