The Andes

Pichincha brings together an Andean capital, cloud forests and farming towns. Quito offers a way into the country’s history; a few nights outside the city add a different pace.

Cuenca invites you to walk, study its façades and follow the Tomebamba riverbanks. Beyond the city, Azuay adds craft traditions and the landscapes of Cajas.

The volcano draws the eye, but the province also unfolds through villages, markets and celebrations. Latacunga is a starting point for a stay combining landscape and culture.

Baños de Agua Santa draws travellers interested in waterfalls and outdoor activities. The province also rewards time around Ambato and Patate.

Otavalo introduces Imbabura’s textile traditions. Nearby lakes and villages invite a longer visit beyond the market, with time for conversation.

Chimborazo’s landscapes invite a slower pace. Riobamba connects the highlands with markets, towns and local trades.

Loja introduces a different Andean rhythm through cultural life, valleys and rural areas.

Cañar invites you to explore Cañari and Inca heritage beyond a single monument.

Guaranda and Bolívar’s landscapes offer an Andean stop centred on towns and local work.

Carchi introduces the northern highlands. Its border location requires careful travel planning.
