Join us on an unforgettable tour around the villages in the province of Imbabura. We'll leave Quito behind for the day and explore valleys, volcanoes, lakes and even more breathtaking places!

Imbabura Villages Tour

At 7 am, we'll meet up on Avenida de los Shyris & Holanda in Quito and kick off our tour of the most beautiful villages in the province of Imbabura.

We'll drive for 1 hour 30 minutes to our first stop: Cayambe, where we will visit a bizococho (a type of biscuit) factory and have a breakfast.

Our journey continues to Otavalo, where we'll stroll through Plaza de Ponchos, one of the oldest traditional markets in Ecuador, and learn about the daily life of the local people.

Next, we'll enjoy a boat trip on Cuicocha Lagoon, learning about its legends, including that it was created by a phreatic eruption 3100 years ago.

After exploring the lake, we'll have a lunch consisting of a main dish and a drink before continuing our tour around Imbabura's villages. In the afternoon, we'll head to Cotacachi, known for its leather products, and visit several shops selling handicrafts made from this material.

Before heading back to Quito, we'll stop at a shop where you can purchase chocolates made from the best cocoa in the country.

We'll return to the meeting point in Quito at 7 pm after a day of exploring the symbolic sights of Imbabura.
