Hi, I am Elizabeth I am from Quito - Ecuador in the Middle of the World, I am a local and national Tour Guide. I have been working as a guide 10 years, I traveled around Ecuador and I discovered many awesome places in my small but beautiful country. I can show you the most touristic and beautiful places, but I would like to show you too the lesser known places. I can individualize each tour based on what you want to see. I will tell you about the history of Quito and Ecuador and I can describe how the life is here. If you need I also can give you some recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, shops and public transportation. I love my city and my country I wish that people know this small country to love like me. Ecuador has 4 worlds in a small space, we have mountains, beaches, jungle and Galápagos island, It is a lovely place. I can customize a tour for you based in your interest, all my tours are very flexible, I love my job and It is very important for me that you feel happy and know a little bit more about Ecuador, so that is my main goal. I recommend you VISIT ECUADOR and feel alive again, It is an amazing experience. I am a certificate guide inside of Ecuador. I am a National Guide I am not licensed guide to climbing to the top of the volcanos, I can guide just until the refuge

Overview of your Quito tour

Quilotoa is a volcano in the west of the Ecuadorian Andes. It is a water-filled caldera, It has 3 kilometers and it was formed by the collapse of this volcano. The caldera has since accumulated a 250 m (820 ft) deep crater lake, which has a greenish color as a result of dissolved minerals. Fumaroles are found on the lake floor and hot springs occur on the eastern flank of the volcano. On the way to go to Quilotoa, we pass through some small indigenous communities, where people keep their customs and culture alive. It's a place where while we're driving you'll enjoy the beauty of the Andes, mountains, volcanoes, small indigenous houses along of the highway are part of this beautiful landscape at 4000 (12. 000 ft. ), meters above sea level.

Our private Quilotoa tour was truly exceptional and an absolute trip highlight. From start to finish, everything was seamless, well paced, and thoughtfully planned. Elizabeth and Julio went above and beyond to make the experience special. They were knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about sharing the region. We learned so much about the culture, history, and landscape, and always felt comfortable and well cared for. The views were breathtaking, and having a private tour made it even more memorable and personalized. I cannot recommend Elizabeth and Julio enough. If you are considering a Quilotoa tour, this is the one to book. An unforgettable experience!

Elizabeth is one of the best people I have ever met. Kind, considerate, accommodating, and personable. She put together a custom tour that was a perfect ending to my time in Quilotoa. Overall an amazing person.

Elizabeth provided extensive information about the area, vegetation, geological history, etc, as we drove to and from Quilatoa. She uses a driver to ensure full attention on driving safety, awareness of the environment, and relevant information and descriptions as we toured. Friendly and speaks English very well, college educated with additional eco-tourism training and license, and an obvious interest in and joy in sharing information about Ecuador and the various locations. Fully customized tours, adjustable on the spot, in the moment to meet our needs and interests. A great guide who is very personable.

This tour allowed Elizabeth to discuss how the Indigenous people farm on the sides of the mountains by hand (no machinery) on the way to the lagoon. Elizabeth offered different hiking options and I chose to hike down to the lagoon as it gave a great sense of the environment. The views were spectacular looking out over the lagoon and up into the mountains.
