Avenue of the Volcanoes 2-Day Tour
Day 1
We'll leave Quito in the morning and set off into the Ecuadorian highlands, crossing the country's biggest volcanic area. This region, named the Avenida de los Volcanes by Alexander Von Humboldt, is a 186-mile (300 km) corridor along the equator that is home to over 70 volcanoes.
Our first stop will be Lasso for breakfast. Then, we'll visit Tigua to learn about indigenous traditions.
Continuing, we'll see the Toachi River Canyon before arriving at Quilotoa. We'll hike to the lake in the crater, a notable landscape of the highlands.
After enjoying the Quilotoa lagoon, we'll travel to our hotel in Baños for the night.
Day 2
After breakfast, we'll head to Mega Park Río Blanco, where you have free time for extreme sports, such as zip lining or crossing the glass bridge.
Next, we'll hike to the Agoyan Pailón del Diablo and Manto de la Novia waterfalls, visit the tree house, and swim from Greenland. You'll enjoy incredible views.
Finally, we will return to Quito, concluding the tour at the pickup hotels around 4 or 5 pm.
