Overview of your Quito tour

Ecuador is a very religious country. His faith has crossed borders so much that the sanctuary of Las Lajas is visited daily by Catholic believers from Ecuador. People have great faith in the Virgin of Las Lajas and show their favors are the thousands of pictures that are stuck on the rocks around the church. It is almost a tradition that entire families visit the Sanctuary on more than one occasion. The beauty of the mountains and valleys will make this trip a unique experience crossing through different mestizo, Indian and Afro-Ecuadorian communities.

Excellent tour with Gustavo. He was right on time for pick up at the hotel. It was a very long drive through Ecuador north to the border of Colombia, but it was well worth the effort. The scenery along the way was amazing and to see all of the biodiversity of Ecuador was incredible. Gustavo made sure the entire ride was comfortable and interesting. He stopped along the way for a very tasty breakfast at a local restaurant. Las Lajas did not disappoint! Beautiful! Tulcán was great, too. Fantastic tour!

Gustavo and his wife were so kind and flexible with my unique travel plans - they picked me up from the airport early in the morning and we were able to get everything done at Las Lajas which I was hoping to. They also took me to Tulcan Cemetery near the border which I didn't know about! Would highly recommend Gustavo for a personalized tour experience anywhere he supports. I will be using him for future trips to Ecuador and the surrounding region.

Gustavo took my husband and I on a two day tour up to Las Lajas church, in Colombia. We made several fun stops along the way, and the whole trip was excellent! Las Lajas is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and we are so glad Gustavo was available to give us the private tour up there. We learned so much, and really enjoyed his knowledge on Ecuador's culture.

Your Quito tour itinerary

Ask for a quotation if you are more than 2 people. Leaving at 5 am from Quito . We have to travel around 5 hours to get in Ipiales. Before crossing the border We can change some dollars for Pesos. It is not mandatory because where We go they accept both currencies. Walking down 10 minutes We will get to the Sanctuary. Visit to the Las Lajas Sanctuary and museum. I suggest you to take the cable car to get a different view of the church. Breakfast time : it could be When We get to the church or When We finish our visit there. Time to return: Tulcan cemetery to see some sculptures made in cypress. It is a really beautiful art Lunch time in a local restaurant to try a typical dish like Hornado with chicha. If We cross Otavalo around 4 pm We can stop to visit the Otavalo market known as Plaza de Ponchos. Return to Quito around 7 pm.
