OVERVIEW
On this trip you will discover the magic of Ecuador, travelling overland from Quito to Guayaquil. Start your trip in Quito, with a stay in a boutique hotel in the old town. Travel to Cotopaxi and Chimborazo NP and enjoy the stunning scenery and then continue into the highlands to explore Riobamba and Cuenca. A highlight of the trip will be a visit to the indigenous town of Saraguro where you will enjoy a weaving workshop before having lunch at Shamuico. The head chef Samuel Ortega is a native from Saraguro who spent several years in Spain, where he studied gastronomy and worked at many high-end restaurants.
If you would like to explore more of Ecuador this tour can easily be combined with a trip to the Galapagos, Amazon or Ecuadorian Cloud Forest.
