Located on the equatorial line, Cayambe is Ecuador’s third-highest peak and the only snow-capped volcano on the equator. Towering at 5,790 meters, it offers breathtaking views of glaciers, Andean landscapes, and unique flora and fauna. Whether you’re an experienced mountaineer or a nature enthusiast, Cayambe’s rugged beauty and surrounding alpine trails make it an unforgettable destination!
Antisana Volcano, rising to 5,704 meters (18,714 feet), is an impressive and less-traveled stratovolcano in Ecuador’s Andes. Situated within the Antisana Ecological Reserve, it boasts expansive glaciers, dramatic ice fields, and unique high-altitude flora and fauna. The volcano’s rugged terrain and unpredictable weather make it a challenging peak for experienced climbers seeking adventure. Additionally, the surrounding reserve offers opportunities to spot Andean wildlife, such as condors, foxes, and spectacled bears, in its pristine páramo landscape. With its striking views and biodiversity, Antisana is a captivating destination that combines natural beauty with exploration.

Our experience was phenomenal. David was a fantastic driver and guide. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very comfortable in every way. We have saved his information to book other trips once we return to Ecuador as his company offers a variety of tours. Simply excellent!
My Dear Friend Jonathan, thank you so much your worlds and confidence. To me it is very important make sure that my guest get the best experience!. Greetings
David is an excellent guide. He arrived at our hotel 10 minutes early and quickly whisked us away to Papallacta Hot Springs. On our way to the hot springs he gave wonderful commentary about everything we were seeing and told us all about his country. We were unable to book tickets ahead of time and due to a national holiday Papallacta was busier than usual, but David was able to put our concerns at ease about getting in and helped us purchase tickets. He did his best to make our trip to the hot springs and spa as smooth and worry-free as possible, and I am happy to say he accomplished that. David is an excellent driver and guide for your vacation.
My dear friend, thank you so much your confidence and your review. I just try to do my best and teach a little bit of my country. Greetings.
