Our tour guide is Ivan (if I spell his name correctly). He is on time when picking us up from the hotel. He also introduces us Ecuadorian traditions and cultures. He took us to Otavalo Marketplace and Cuicocha Lake. The lunch is great! Thank you so much.

This was a great tour! Our tour guides were very helpful and gave us lots of information. One of the highlights was stopping at the Equator in Cayambe. This stop is better than the more popular Mitad del Mundo on the West side of Quito. The landscape is beautiful and you get to stop at some great places to take pictures. We went on a Tuesday and the market in Otavalo wasn't as large as I expected. I found there to be more shopping and better prices in Quito. The drive and exploration of the country side was worth the trip for sure!
