The organization of this tour was very good. We were given the meeting point clearly, and the minibus was on time. We visited the equator for breakfast (with an interesting demonstration), a lake for views (though too cloudy to be perfect), a waterfall (not spectacular, but worth the 15 minutes walk both ways), next to see some traditional instruments (though only one person played for us), then the famous market. There was a recommended restaurant for lunch which some of the group took advantage of, but it still left 90 minutes for the market - longer for those who did their own thing. We got back at 5.30 - it is a long day out with a lot of driving, but not as much as 12 hours. Jorge our guide was interesting and enthusiastic and kept us all involved in English and Spanish.

It was a wonderful way to explore equator outside of Quito. Loved that cayambe and the equator are not so crowded and touristy. Loved all we did. Only two suggestions. Instead of preordering lunch and having an hour and a half at the market I’d suggest eating lunch and then setting a more reasonable amount of time at the market in otavalo. Secondly the drive back to Quito from otavalo was way too long. If it could have been broken up at some point it would have been better.

I embarked on an incredible tour to Octavalo from Quito, Ecuador, with no prior knowledge of what to expect. The day was filled with exciting activities, including a visit to the breathtaking Peguche waterfall, an exploration of the vibrant Indigenous market, and a delightful stop at the Biscotto bakery. We also savored a delicious lunch at a restaurant that showcased the region’s culinary delights. Our tour guide, Irene, and our driver, Ivan, were both exceptionally professional. They provided insightful answers to our questions and offered valuable insights into the local culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in immersing themselves in the diverse culture of this part of Ecuador.

A nice tour to Otavalo market. The breakfast stop at the bizcocho bakery and the waterfall stops were good but probably could have skipped the lake stop. The driver and guide - Andrés and Veronica - were great.
