Absolutely. But Quito is more than just a stop between destinations.

Set high in the Andes, Quito is a city where colonial history, volcanoes, cloud forests and incredible wildlife come together. 🌋🦜

From exploring the historic center and standing on the Equator, to taking the cable car up Pichincha and discovering hummingbirds and colorful tanagers just outside the city, Quito is the perfect starting point for experiencing the incredible diversity of Ecuador.

And the best part? You don’t have to choose between culture and nature. You can experience both in the same day.

Come discover Quito beyond the usual tourist stops.

We did it! 🏔️🇪🇨🇳🇱
Five days of adventure, grit, and breathtaking landscapes with a dear friend who keeps coming back to visit us all the way from the Netherlands. We set a clear goal: step-by-step preparation to conquer the summit of Illiniza Norte (5,126 m / 16,817 ft).
Thanks to meticulous planning, but above all, her incredible strength, determination, and positive mindset, we nailed every single hike exactly as planned.
Here is how our 5-day acclimatization and summit journey unfolded:
Day 1: Ilaló Hill (to the cross) | ~5 km / 3 mi | 3,194 m / 10,479 ft ✝️
Day 2: Cuicocha Crater Lake (loop) | ~14 km / 8.7 mi | 3,450 m / 11,318 ft 🌊
Day 3: Quilotoa Crater Lake (loop) | ~11 km / 6.8 mi | 3,910 m / 12,828 ft 🌋
Day 4: Cotopaxi Volcano | ~5 km / 3.1 mi | 5,200 m / 17,060 ft ❄️
Day 5: Summit Day! Illiniza Norte | ~9 km / 5.6 mi | 5,126 m / 16,817 ft 🏔️
Seeing returning travelers push their limits and fall in love with the Ecuadorian Andes time after time is our greatest reward. Thank you for trusting us once again to make this summit happen!

Snow-capped volcanoes in Ecuador during the rainy season… not exactly what most people expect 🌋❄️

But here’s the truth: yes, it’s absolutely worth coming.

Winter in Ecuador (the so-called rainy season) brings dramatic skies, fresh air, fewer crowds, and landscapes that feel alive. And on clear mornings? You get views like this—volcanoes covered in snow, standing above the clouds.

Travel here isn’t about perfect weather. It’s about real moments, raw beauty, and unforgettable contrasts.

So, is it worth visiting Ecuador in winter?

Without a doubt.

A truly unforgettable day in the cloud forest 🌿✨

Today’s Toucan & Hummingbird Tour in Mindo was a complete success. We spotted vibrant toucans gliding across the canopy, dozens of dazzling hummingbirds feeding just meters away, and enjoyed the peaceful sounds of nature all around us. Moments like these remind us why this place is so special.

Thank you to our amazing guests for sharing the adventure, the laughs, and the early wake-up call to witness the forest come alive. If you love birds, nature, and magical mornings, this experience is for you.

Rain brings the Andes to life with deep greens, waterfalls everywhere, misty mountains, and cooler, refreshing weather. From cloud forests to volcano views, every landscape feels more dramatic and alive.
