Santo Domingo de Los Tsachilas Day Trip

After picking you up at your hotel in Quito between 5:15 and 6 am, we'll start our journey to the Ecuadorian province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. During the tour, we'll see the green vegetation of the Choco Andino Reserve and the high mountains around the Los Ilinizas Ecological Reserve.

After a 3 hour 30 minute drive, we'll go on a short walk through a forest and come across up to 3 waterfalls. This will be the perfect opportunity to take a dip.
