Overview

Dive into a two-day adventure brimming with natural wonders, cultural immersion, and delicious culinary experiences, centered around the breathtaking Tierra de Tayos. The journey begins in the vibrant city of Quito, where we'll venture through lush cloud forests, home to an array of dazzling bird species. Upon arrival at Tierra de Tayos, explore the rich history of the Yumbo people at a local museum, and unwind with a local lunch. Then, experience the vibrancy of the region through a visit to a magnificent waterfall and a face-to-face encounter with the region's resplendent bird, the Cock-of-the-Rock. Conclude your day with a tantalizing dinner, followed by some relaxing time sipping a welcome cocktail.

Day two kickstarts with a charming countryside activity: milking cows! Post-breakfast, indulge in exotic fruit picking, tasting the biodiversity of the region. The tour's pinnacle is the visit to the awe-inspiring Cueva de los Tayos, a cave shrouded in mystery and wonder. After the thrill of cave exploration, embark on a trek through the Coca forest, and cool off with a refreshing swim in a serene river. Post-lunch, experience the art of traditional chocolate-making, a sweet ending to the day. The journey culminates with a return trip to Quito, leaving you with cherished memories and a newfound appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry of the Tierra de Tayos.

Even if your schedule doesn't allow for a two-day getaway, fear not! We offer an equally enchanting one-day option that encapsulates the beauty and excitement of Tierra de Tayos. This condensed version of our journey manages to blend the essential experiences - the lush cloud forests, the rich cultural history of the Yumbo people, and the taste of traditional Ecuadorian cuisine. Don't miss out on the opportunity to visit the captivating Cueva de los Tayos or the chance to unwind by a picturesque waterfall. Our one-day tour is designed to maximize your time while ensuring you get the most out of your visit. Remember, even the briefest encounters with the enchanting Tierra de Tayos promise memories that will last a lifetime!
