| Ecuador, The Switzerland of the Incas, this excursion leads to the royal alley, which boasts the highest fire mountains in the world. Between the Pacific and the Amazonia, there is a tall ring of fire known as : the Alley of the Volcanoes, or the path of the sun. Some 2500 m high, 400 km long and 60 km wide, between an western and eastern cordillera, it is an island lost in the clouds guarded by the gods We begin our adventure in the region of Otavalo north of the capital of Quito . to visit the famous market and local villages, followed by a hike to the Mojanda Mojanda lagoon and to Fuya Fuya. We continue onward to the El Chaupi village, then begin an excursion to the camp of the Ilinizas mountains to watch the sunset on the Alley of the Volanoes above the clouds, star-gaze at 4600 m high. Then we visit the Cotopaxi National Park. Are you fascinated by this volcano ? You can have the possibility to climb it I just need to know before the departure to Ecuador. We are now travelling south, visiting; Ambabato, Riobamba and Cuenca. We may, weather permitting, travel from Alausi to Huigra by train in the "Nariz del Diablo" canyon – an adventure in itself !!! From Andean heights (4000 m), we descend to the Amazonia (500 m). The vegetation changes and temperatures rise as we come closer to Puerto Misahualli; we embark on a pirogue excursion and a stroll in the forest. We continue onward to the resort of Banos and its more temperate, if not idyllic, climate; only the Tungurahua volcano threatens this peaceful area. We will spend our last day visiting the colonial city of Quito. Price of the ground portion: 15 days, 2200$ CDN For departure dates or any other information please do not hesitate to contact me.
