Arrive in Quito and transfer to the comfort of Café Cultura. A day to visit the colonial district of Quito – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

DAYS 3-5 - SANTA LUCIA CLOUD FOREST
It’s off in 4x4s to the Maquipucuna Cloud Forest Reserve, with a quick stop off at the Equator itself! A morning “stroll” up the hill to Santa Lucia – hard work, but wait until you see the view!
