Together with our tour guide Wilson we went to the Devils nose/train station and Ingapirca. Wilson picked us up from Riobamba and dropped us off in Cuenca: great that this flexibility was possible!
What really made our tour top notch was Wilson: he knows so much about the culture, environment, history and nature. He was always willing to answer questions and was a safe driver.
We have been in Ecuador for about a week now and I am willing to say that he was the best till now!
