A great combination of adventures in separate and different regions of Ecuador. From the Andes, its mountains, beautiful sceneries and colonial Haciendas to the exuberant Amazon jungle.

The perfect place to get acclimated to the altitude would be Hacienda Zuleta where you can start by taking short hikes and by visiting the various installations around the hacienda. This would only be the beginning of the adventure awaiting you and which will culminate with a hike around the Cuicocha crater lake near Otavalo.

The expedition continues in the Amazon jungle where we will immerse ourselves in the rain forest of the Yasuni National Park, where we will have fascinating encounters with wildlife and we will also have the opportunity to meet and see the way of life of the Añangu Community who have made our visit possible to this marvelous place.

This whole adventure is ideal by combining it with a cruise to the Galapagos and thus discover in a more ample way the huge cultural, scenic and biological diversity in Ecuador.
