We begin our day with a visit of one of the most beautiful parts of Quito – The Historic Old Town, located in the center of Quito. The name itself resonates with wonder and romances! Designated by UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage Site, this city is regarded as the most beautiful and stylish one in the Andes.

Our next stop is The Panecillo (the little bread loaf), rising over the southern edge of the old town and crowned by a magnificent 30-m (98-ft) high statue of the Virgen of Quito. A long flight of steps leads to the summit. Here Quito presents itself, spread out like a blanket of pearl white miniature houses enclosed by green hills.

In the afternoon, our guide will take you to the Equator! Take your picture at the Mitad del Mundo as you stand simultaneously in both the Southern and the Northern Hemispheres. Learn about the rich culture of Ecuador with a visit to the equator museum. During our stop at Museum Intiyan, you can see for yourself the uniqueness of this midpoint. Watch the water swirl down the drain clockwise and counter-clockwise, or defy gravity by balancing an egg on the tip of a nail.

La visita fue genial, los recorridos estaban muy bien planificados para poder conocer un poco de cada lugar. Nuestro guía David es muy atento y siempre nos explicaba varios detalles sobre los lugares que visitamos para poder aprender un poco más de las costumbres y cultura de Ecuador.

We had a wonderful time at the Waita Lodge. Our guide was thoughtful and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed the mix of activities available to us. The food was very good as well, and they provided plenty of snacks, which is helpful when traveling with children. Our main issue was the transportation issue; we were given the option of having a private van versus a shuttle bus. We chose the shuttle bus, but were not informed of the constraints of this option. We were asked repeatedly during the weekend how we were going to handle the departure to the shuttle, which was not something I understood to be our responsibility. We were told that it would cost another $40 to reach the shuttle, which had to be paid in cash, and resulted in us having less money available for tips. Ultimately, the company paid for the price of the shuttle, but it significantly affected our travel on the last day. We were also not given a lunch on the last day, which meant that we did not eat between breakfast and dinner; there was no time to eat between getting off the canoe, into a mixto, and then the shuttle bus.
