Andes to the Coast
This journey is ideal for those wanting to view the dramatic landscape changes from the Andes to the coast prior to or after a Galapagos journey. Begin your adventure exploring the dramatic colonial history of Quito and its surroundings. Then, experience the surroundings of the second largest active volcano in the world while staying at a hacienda built on an Inca temple. This travel program takes you along the Avenue of the Volcanoes to the coast of Ecuador, through colonial gems like Cuenca, to traditional haciendas and finally to Guayaquil. This setting has all the elements one would expect to find in places like Tuscany and the Alps: breathtaking scenery, amazing contrasts of Andean and tropical environments, incomparable accommodations with historic architecture and excellent cuisine.
If markets, snow-capped volcanoes, mountains and lakes are not reason enough to visit, this area also has elegant colonial haciendas. Apart from offering guests a rare insight into rural life, trekking, horseback riding and bird watching in the majestic highlands are but a few of the pleasures of staying in these unique haciendas
