[{"title":"Day 1: Quito ","name":"Quito ","description":"Bienvenidos! Welcome to Ecuador. Your adventure begins in the country’s capital of Quito, high in the Andes. You’ll notice a mix of modern and traditional houses dotted halfway up the surrounding mountain peaks that frame the city and an Old Town with architectural jewels just waiting to be explored. Your trip officially kicks off with a welcome meeting at 6 pm this evening, where you’ll meet your group leader and fellow travellers. If you arrive early, maybe wander through the cobblestoned streets, checking out the market stalls or joining an Urban Adventure tour through the city’s historic centre – check out the Quito Legends and Culture Tour at urbanadventures.com. Optional Activities: -<description>Quilotoa - Quilotoa Lagoon (Full day)</description> -<description>Quito - Urban Adventures: Legends and Culture Tour</description> -<description>Quito - Papallacta Hot Springs (Full day)</description>","lat":"-0.180653","lng":"-78.467838"},{"title":"Day 2: Tena - Amazon","name":"Tena - Amazon","description":"After breakfast this morning, wave goodbye to the country’s capital and switch up the pace as you make your way to the Amazon on a local bus bound for Tena. Your lodge-style accommodation in Tena, on the banks of the Arajuno River, is only accessible by canoe so you can expect a little bit of adventure for the last leg of today’s trip! You'll have a free afternoon to explore the eco-lodge – built with all-natural materials, this lodge belongs to the Selvaviva Foundation that works with the Indigenous community in the area. Tonight, have dinner at the eco-lodge, listening to the singing sounds of jungle insects and the flicker of the fireplace. Then, wander the area under the twinkling night sky on a night walk with your leader guiding the way. Included Activities: -<description>Amazon- Night walk</description>","lat":"-0.9833","lng":"-77.8167"},{"title":"Day 3: Tena- Amazon","name":"Tena- Amazon","description":"Fuel up on breakfast this morning as you have a big day of adventures ahead. First, you’ll hike into the rainforest with a local Indigenous guide leading the way. Listen carefully as they point out local bird species and teach you about the incredible plant life that thrives here. You’ll be surrounded by one of the most magnificent landscapes on Earth, teeming with wildlife, so make sure you take a moment to breathe it all in. After lunch, visit an animal rescue centre to learn more about the local wildlife (and how we can help to protect them). Included Activities: -<description>Amazon - Guided rainforest hike and visit to animal rescue centre</description>","lat":"-0.9833","lng":"-77.8167"},{"title":"Day 4: Banos","name":"Banos","description":"Take the opportunity to mingle with the locals and maybe brush up on your Spanish on a public bus headed for Banos. Surrounded by mountains, hot springs and waterways that lead to waterfalls, this is a perfect next step after the rainforest! When you arrive, stretch your legs on a leader-led walking tour of the city and get the inside scoop on the best places to grab a bite to eat. This afternoon, visit Pailon del Diablo – one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the area. The 80-m-high falls have a mighty strength that showers anyone in its path (so make sure you bring a waterproof jacket). There are a lot of stairs, but they will be worth it when you reach the view of Pailon del Diablo. Included Activities: -<description>Banos - Walking tour</description> -<description>Banos - Pailon del Diablo Waterfall hike</description>","lat":"-2.226925","lng":"-80.702568"},{"title":"Day 5: Banos","name":"Banos","description":"Today, you have a free day to explore Banos and take on all the optional activities you like! Your leader will always be on hand to help arrange anything you’d like to do – maybe head for the ‘Swing at the End of the World’ and get your heart racing or hike to the Bellavista Viewpoint. You could also opt to soak away your worries in the hot springs or visit the local waterfalls. Optional Activities: -<description>Banos - Bellavista Viewpoint - Free</description> -<description>Banos - Hot springs</description> -<description>Banos - Swing at the End of the World</description> -<description>Banos - Route of the waterfalls</description>","lat":"-2.226925","lng":"-80.702568"},{"title":"Day 6: Cotopaxi National Park- Quito","name":"Cotopaxi National Park- Quito","description":"Rise bright and early this morning and drive along the ‘Avenue of the Volcanoes’ to the Cotopaxi National Park, which sits at 3800 m above sea level. When you arrive, head out on a hike to Limpiopungo Lagoon for a gorgeous view of the Cotopaxi volcano – Ecuador’s second-highest peak and the highest active volcano in the world! Keep an eye out for the park’s wildlife, including condors, deer and spectacled bears. Have lunch at La Cienega – sitting at the bottom of the volcano, this is one of the oldest haciendas in Ecuador and famously housed Charles-Marie de la Condamine, a French scientist who led the Geodesic Mission. After lunch, explore the on-site architecture, gardens and chapel. On the way back to Quito, you’ll also visit a flower farm for a guided tour where you’ll learn about all stages of production here. Connect with the plants by cutting and touching the flowers around you, becoming a part of the final phase of production, and learn about their green initiatives and environment mission. Included Activities: -<description>Cotopaxi - National Park walk</description> -<description>Cotopaxi - Flower plantation visit</description> -<description>Cotopaxi- Tour of historical hacienda</description>","lat":"-0.700742","lng":"-78.429719"},{"title":"Day 7: Caldera Community Stay","name":"Caldera Community Stay","description":"Make your way to the north to the Caldera Community today, where Indigenous families will be waiting for you for tonight’s homestay. When you arrive, you’ll participate in the ‘Pachamanca’ food ceremony, where the pot is heated with volcanic stones to cook the local, Andean vegetables. Pachamanca has been a part of South American culture for centuries, dating back to pre-historic times. The name comes from the Quechua language ‘Pacha’ (meaning earth) and ‘Manca’ (meaning cooking pot or earth oven). Widely used in times of the Incas, this ritual is a celebration of fertility and life. While lunch is cooking, visit some of the women's entrepreneurship programs and learn more about the community here. After, spend some more time getting to know the local families and depending on the season, maybe feed the animals, take milk from the cows or harvest some vegetables. Included Activities: -<description>Cotacachi- Pachamanca and village experience</description>","lat":"-0.180653","lng":"-78.467838"},{"title":"Day 8: Otavalo-Quito","name":"Otavalo-Quito","description":"This morning after a home-cooked breakfast, say goodbye to your hosts and board the bus to the Cuicocha Lagoon. This lagoon sits in a collapsed volcanic crater and features two mounded islands that look like the backs of two guinea pigs (Cuicocha means ‘guinea pig lake!’). When you arrive, take one of the paths to the several viewpoints and appreciate the vast scenery. Then, head to the local Indigenous market of Otavalo – one of the best places to haggle for souvenirs. Browse the many stalls that sell hats, tapestries, ceramics, textiles and more. Later, head back to Quito and maybe rally your travel companions for one final dinner before your trip comes to an end – your leader will be ready with all the best bars and street eats! Included Activities: -<description>Cuicocha - Lagoon viewpoint</description> -<description>Otavalo - Market Visit</description>","lat":"0.233333","lng":"-78.266667"},{"title":"Day 10: Isla San Cristobal, Galapagos","name":"Isla San Cristobal, Galapagos","description":"Bienvenidos! Welcome to San Cristobal in the Galapagos Islands. After joining up with your fellow travellers and your local naturalist guide, you’ll head to La Loberia and put on your snorkelling gear for the first time. Go for a swim among the sea lions and maybe even spot sea turtles, too! After, you’ll return to town, where you have a free evening to head out with the group and get to know each other better. Maybe find some fresh seafood to enjoy or wander the shores at your own pace. Included Activities: -<description>Isla San Cristobal- Snorkeling in La Loberia (1.5 Hours)</description> Optional Activities: -<description>Wetsuit (shortsleeve) hire for 5 days</description>","lat":"-0.867472","lng":"-89.436391"},{"title":"Day 11: Isla San Cristobal","name":"Isla San Cristobal","description":"Take a 45-minute boat ride to Leon Dormido (Kicker Rock) this morning. On the way, you might be able to spot nesting frigates and blue-footed boobies. You might even get the chance to swim among the sea lions again. At Leon Dormido, you can snorkel and look for sea turtles, manta rays and the harmless Galapagos shark. Eat lunch on the boat, then head to the Interpretation Center. Learn about the history of the 'Enchanted Islands' and the conservation projects that seek to preserve them. Continue to Frigatebird Hill (Cerro Tijeretas) – it's quite a climb to the top, but well worth the amazing views of the bay. Then, return to town in the late afternoon for a free evening. Included Activities: -<description>San Cristobal - Excursion to Leon Dormido or Lobos Islands</description> -<description>Isla San Cristobal - Interpretation Center (45 minutes)</description> -<description>Isla San Cristobal - Cerro Tijeretas View Point (1 Hour)</description>","lat":"-0.867472","lng":"-89.436391"},{"title":"Day 12: Isla Floreana / Isla Isabela","name":"Isla Floreana / Isla Isabela","description":"Take an early morning boat ride to Isla Floreana and look for dolphins and whales along the way. Snorkel in the clear blue waters and then break for lunch. After, venture to a black-sand beach belonging to the Witmers – descendants of some of the first settlers on the Galapagos. The town here – Puerto Velasco Ibarra – has about 150 residents and an intriguing history involving deaths, disappearances and murders. Later in the afternoon, wave goodbye to Floreana and continue to Isla Isabela, where you’ll spend the night. Included Activities: -<description>Floreana - Snorkeling</description>","lat":"-1.308331","lng":"-90.431373"},{"title":"Day 13: Isla Isabela","name":"Isla Isabela","description":"This morning, you’ll hop on a small Zodiac boat and cruise to Las Tintoreras (Shark Alley), looking out for blue-footed boobies and the famous Galapagos penguin. Take a short walk on this isolated islet and popular iguana nesting site, then snorkel in a calm inlet with colourful fish and winding underground lava tubes. This area is also frequented by green sea turtles that like to rest on the calm, sandy bottom. Return to Isla Isabela and visit the Arnaldo Tupiza Tortoise Breeding Center, where you'll observe giant tortoises in all stages of development. After learning about the thousand turtles that are preparing for life here, you’ll head to a brackish lagoon to observe flamingos. Later today, take a kayak around the island and spend your evening resting in the sand and soaking in your first Isabela sunset – arguably the most beautiful of all the islands! Included Activities: -<description>Isla Isabela -Tintoreras or Shark Alley (2.5 Hours)</description> -<description>Isla Isabela - Flamingo lagoon visit (30 Minutes)</description> -<description>Isla Isabela - Giant Tortoise Breeding Centre (1 Hour)</description> -<description>Isla Isabela - Kayaking</description>","lat":"-0.829237","lng":"-91.135302"},{"title":"Day 14: Isla Isabela","name":"Isla Isabela","description":"Start your last day on Isla Isabela by heading towards the Sierra Negra Volcano – one of the Galapagos’ most active volcanoes and the world's second-largest crater! Weather permitting, you’ll take a challenging hike of around 17 km up the rocky mountain. After, make your way back to town for some free time to curl up with a book, soak your tired muscles or venture down to the water for a relaxing swim before dinner. Included Activities: -<description>Isla Isabela - Sierra Negra Volcano Hike (5-6 Hours)</description>","lat":"-1.308331","lng":"-90.431373"},{"title":"Day 15: Isla Isabela / Isla Santa Cruz","name":"Isla Isabela / Isla Santa Cruz","description":"Jump aboard a private speedboat this morning and head to Isla Santa Cruz. When you arrive, leave your bags at the hotel and head to the Santa Cruz Highlands. Your first stop is a local farm, where giant tortoises roam the grounds freely. Here, you’ll meet with an expert chef for a cooking class to make the famed encebollado – a local tuna soup that’s widely considered one of the best in the world! This hearty dish uses slow-cooked albacore tuna and a savoury broth made of onions, cilantro and spices. The dish is traditionally served with yuca (a starchy root vegetable) and garnished with lime and green onions. Enjoy the soups of your labour for lunch, then wander the grounds with the slow-paced residents.
