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.

Our stay at Waita lodge was undeniably the greatest highlight of our trip to Ecuador. Staying deep in the Cuyabeno Nature Reserve was incredible and unique. It made the (very) long journey to get there so worth it. Our main guide, Diego, was kind, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and interesting and showed genuine care for our interests. He helped us see over 7 types of monkeys among countless birds, insects and more. The other staff there were also lovely and helpful. The food was great (so much fresh fruit!!) and the lodge/stay itself was comfortable and clean. I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience here. It is well worth the extra travel in comparison to many of the other lodges to get deeper into nature.

It did not work well for me. The highlight was seeing 2 or 3 blue-footed boobie birds. Our guide was so-so. The island was very desert, with some cactus trees and a few iguanas. A place I would want not to see again. I opted out of snorkeling, so I missed a bit. The beach was beautiful white sand, with a bunch of sea lions on the left 40%. The 2-hour boat ride each way was unremarkable and the lunch adequate. Unlike the day before's 2-hour boat ride (to Bartolomé Island), I did not connect with other passengers much at all. No dolphins accompanying us.
