      From the moment I joined this multi-day experience, I was captivated by the diversity and vibrancy surrounding each stop. Exploring bustling markets, including one with colorful crafts and textiles, was a highlight, and I loved the chance to chat with local artisans. The overnight stay near a stunning volcanic landscape was particularly memorable; there’s something magical about waking up to fresh mountain air. My only slight disappointment was that some of the travel times felt a bit longer than expected, which left less time at certain sights. Still, the breathtaking views and engaging guides made the journey worthwhile, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the culture and landscapes that define this enchanting region.

      Our adventure through Ecuador was nothing short of exhilarating, especially with the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture we encountered along the way. We loved exploring the bustling markets of Otavalo, where the colorful textiles and local crafts really sparked our creativity. Cotopaxi was a highlight too, with its majestic views that left us in awe as we hiked around the area. While our overnight stay in Quito had some minor noise issues, the city’s charm and rich history more than made up for it. Overall, this trip allowed us to discover so much about Ecuador and created unforgettable memories with friends!
