  Indian Markets  |   Colonial Cities   |   Volcanoes   |   Adventure

The Andes is a mountain range full of green valleys and majestic mountains. They cross the Country from North to South, which provide visitors with wonderful sights of volcanoes, valleys, rivers and lakes. The magic of this region allows the visitor to enjoy traditional and colorful Indian markets such as Otavalo, known worldwide for its crafts and beautiful textiles.

Without doubt, one of the biggest attractions of the region is its snow-covered peaks and volcanoes such as the Cotopaxi, which is refuge to countless Andean species. Throughout the area, there are beautiful haciendas, many of which offer accommodations to travelers, who can enjoy great comfort while enjoying the nature of the region.

Other important tourist attractions of the region are its colonial cities, full of history, art and tradition. Cities such as Quito and Cuenca have been declared by UNESCO as Cultural Patrimonies of Humanity. In both cities, you can walk their cobblestone streets; admire their historic churches, convents, plazas, historic monuments and beautiful colonial arquitecture. Last but not least, you can enjoy the warmth of its people.
