At 8.00 a.m. departure from Riobamba and 1-hour drive to the small town of Guamote. This is a very quiet town but every Thursday it gets crowded with colorfully dressed indigenous people at one of Ecuador’s most authentic markets. There are 3 different market squares: one for potatoes, vegetables and fruits; the animal market with llamas, sheep and pigs; and a third one for ponchos, hats and instant reparation of your clothing. In every street of town you will find all kind of merchandise you can imagine: from household ware to traditional medicine. Our guide will show you around all the squares and streets. On the way back to Riobamba we visit the Colta Lake and Balbanera, the first church of Ecuador.
We have lunch and then return to Riobamba. Arrive at 15.00 p.m.

Amazing experience. The guides were incredible too. Hats off to both Luis Miguel and Jorge for giving me an incredible day at Chimborazo! If I had time I would do it again.

We did the Bike&Hike Tour with our supernice Guide Miguel. Everything was perfect. The pick up from the Appartement, the trip to the refugio, the bikes and all the tips miguel gave us. He was super and made us a perfect day. Thank you Miguel.

We absolutely loved our Chimborazo mountain biking adventure! At the planning stages, this company promptly responded to my email questions and were accommodating to our schedule. On the tour, the guides were both incredibly friendly and helpful, and also made sure we would be safe (supplying safety gear and following behind in a car), which we really appreciated. The biking adventure took us along a trail with stunning views (made for beautiful pictures)! Can not recommend this company enough, they were awesome and helped make our whirlwind trip to Ecuador easy and unforgettable!

My husband and I did the 3-day Inca Trail trek, with Marciel as our guide. It was fantastic! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and patient. We both experienced mild altitude sickness during the beginning of the hike, and our guide made sure we continued at a comfortable pace and made recommendations along the way. The food was great, and we learned so much about the history of the trail and the region. The camping equipment works well and is very comfortable. The horsemen work really hard to ensure everything is set up in advance. Highly recommend this trek and the tour operator. They are very professional and answered a lot of questions in advance of the trip.
