Overview of your Quito tour:

WOW! This tour was one of those wonderful accidents in touring. March 2018 an adventurous Boston couple asked to see behind the Otavalo travelers see. We headed out deeper and deeper down and west into gradually warmer, more humid cloud forest and discovered the most wonderful day. If you want to experience the normal Otavalo tour as well as this behind the scenes one, this must include an Otavalo overnight. This can be done as a stand alone tour in one day with early Quito departure. I've been touring 26 years and am kicking myself for never having done an Otavalo tour like this. I have thought long and hard about even offering this tour because I don't want to do it too much and spoil the area. If you want an exceptional, REAL, local experience, this is the one. You will never forget it and the locals you meet. I'm 5'2"; how tall is the old man in picture with me?
