Welcome to a week in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes—where snow-capped volcanoes, crater-rim hikes, local cooking experiences, and soul-soothing hot springs come together in one perfectly curated adventure.

You’ll start in historic Quito, exploring its colonial streets and riding the famous TelefériQo for panoramic views over the Andes. Then we head deep into the highlands: walking the emerald rim of Quilotoa Lagoon, hiking at the base of mighty Cotopaxi, meeting local communities, and relaxing at a charming Andean hacienda. By the time we reach the natural thermal pools of Papallacta for two days of pure rejuvenation, you’ll understand why this region is considered one of the most magical pockets of South America.

This trip blends moderate hiking with cultural encounters, quiet moments in nature, and boutique stays that feel like a retreat. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and restoration—crafted for travelers who want to explore Ecuador’s landscapes without roughing it.
