Balanced tour between nature, culture and opportunity for shopping local items. - Very attentive guide, patient and well-humored. We also learned a little about Ecuadorian plurinationality and the Kiichua language as the country’s official second language.

The tour to the Otavalo markets is really good value for money! - Although the very colourful and quite extensive Otavalo markets were the highlight of this trip, I thoroughly enjoyed all the "extras" such as the biscuit bakery and Cotacachi Cayapas as well. The guide was enthusiastic and really knowledgeable.

Great experience! - I had David as a guide for this tour and he made the experience really nice! The tour in itself was already great, but David was very helpful, informative and attentive! The only negative point is that it would have been nice to get a heads up that lunch would be so late, so we could have better prepared.

Totora Wasi - It is a very nice place, ideal for taking photographs however I would recommend to promote more the workshops that are around it as is the workshop totora home that is behind the monument, in this beautiful workshop you have the opportunity to know the processes of the totora and also you can learn to elaborate their crafts. It is certainly an activity worth doing if you visit the lagoon of San Pablo.

s a beautiful water mirror located in the Andean region, recognized for its natural, cultural and touristic value. Beyond - IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL. s a beautiful water mirror located in the Andean region, recognized for its natural, cultural and touristic value. Beyond its stunning landscape, which invites tranquility and direct contact with nature, it represents a living space for local biodiversity and a fundamental resource for the communities living around. However, its conservation faces challenges due to tourism pressure, pollution and climate change, so it is essential to promote responsible tourism and environmental protection strategies to ensure that future generations can also enjoy this wonderful place. In short, Laguna San Pablo is a natural treasure that reflects the identity and ecological wealth of the area, and its care is a shared responsibility.
