Although, it is a long and arduous day in the car, it is absolutely worth it such a magnificent site in Columbia. The tour guide made it exceptional by also taking me to an incredible unique cemetery in Ecuador.
Cathedral and so much more

I do not know how this excursion could be made better. We were picked up right on time in a very clean and comfortable car. The ride was exactly as described with outstanding guide Carlos and our driver. Carlos helped us exchange money in Columbia for all our expenses there. The cathedral was beautiful. The gondola ride was spectacular giving us an incredible view of the valley and cathedral. We spent as much time as we chose there. We visited the museum which is really nice and had several opportunities to visit the cathedral. We also went to the falls…incredible. Off to the spectacular figures in the cemetery. We stopped for a local lunch and then headed back. Volcanoes, lakes, churches and local foods and snacks. Dropped back at the hotel after a very full day. Incredible!!
Great experience

One of the best tour in Quito for sure. Our tour guide Gustavo was awesome. He picked us up at our hotel on time and drove 5 hours to Las Lajas. The Sanctuary was amazing. Our dream of visiting our lady of lajas finally came true. We also visited a cemetery in Tulcan. Awesome tree designs/maze. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
