Don’t miss this amazing tour! - What an amazing day exploring Ecuador and its rich culture! We began at the foot of the Cayambe Volcano with a delicious breakfast of freshly baked bizcochos. Then it was off to the “Middle of the World” across the street for some unforgettable photos. From there, we visited the stunning Peguche Waterfalls and nearby markets, followed by a fascinating demonstration of traditional Andean musical instruments.
Lunch in Otavalo was both delicious and affordable at a great local restaurant. Our final stop was the vibrant Otavalo Market, where we ended up finding treasures we didn’t even know we were looking for.
Pamela, our guide, and Eddie, our driver, were both fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and fun. I highly recommend this tour!
