Best Tour in Ecuador

Our 6-day, 5-night adventure in Ecuador (February 2026) was absolutely amazing! With Daniel as our private tour guide and driver, we felt like we had the best insider knowledge about the local culture and customs. Daniel’s fluency in both Spanish and English was a huge plus, especially since many locals don’t speak English. We asked him tons of questions, and he was always happy to share his knowledge. Daniel is a “Man of Many Hats” as he was also our Personal Photographer! The sights we saw were simply breathtaking—from the volcanoes and their craters to the Amazon Rainforest and the stunning Route of the Waterfalls. We had no issues with altitude, going from Quito(9,350 ft) to Quilotoa Volcano Crater (12,841 ft) above sea level. From there we went to see Cotopaxi Volcano (15, 088 ft) above sea level. Just go slow and breathe through your nose. Hydration is important, so drink lots of water. When it comes to drinking water, it’s best to stick with bottled water or water provided by your hotel. The food in Ecuador is amazing, with many fresh and reasonably priced options available. The US dollar is the local currency, and small change is always appreciated. We didn’t have any major issues with insects, but it’s still a good idea to bring some repellent, especially when exploring the rainforest. Dressing in layers is a must, as the temperature can drop significantly in the mornings and evenings. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen with a high SPF, as the sun’s rays can be intense near the equator. Rain showers can pop up unexpectedly, so it’s a good idea to bring a waterproof jacket. The humidity can be quite high, so be prepared for clothes to dry slowly. Just a heads-up: public bathrooms often charge a small fee (around $0.15) Also $0.25 for toilet paper, so it’s a good idea to bring some with you. And always remember to put “all the toilet paper”in the waste basket. And finally, be sure to wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes—you’ll need them for all the exploring you’ll be doing!

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We are delighted to hear that your 6-day adventure in Ecuador was so memorable. It’s wonderful to know that Daniel helped make your journey special by sharing his knowledge of our culture, landscapes, and local traditions. We will definitely pass along your kind words to him — he will be very happy to hear them. Ecuador truly offers incredible diversity, from the Andes volcanoes and Quilotoa crater to the Amazon Rainforest and the beautiful Route of the Waterfalls. We’re glad you were able to experience so much of it. Thank you again for trusting us with your trip. We hope to welcome you back to Ecuador for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Live Ecuador Team 🌎

A great way to see a lot in a short time

My mother and I travelled with the beautiful kind, caring and wonderfully hard working Erik through Ecuador. You can tell just how much Erik loves his country and how much he cares for the various communities we visited. Fabulous and SAFE driver. I cannot believe how well Erik handled the chaotic roads of Ecuador while trying to answer the multitude of questions we constantly peppered him with. My only feedback would be to run the trip in reverse. Going from high altitude in Quito to the amazon and then back to high altitude really knocked us around. I would go Quito, Cotopaxi then Quilotoa then into banos and the amazon for a more enjoyable trip. Great accommodation and breakfasts. Thank you Erik for your patience with us and for showing us your beautiful country with such passion. Great ambassador.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s heartwarming to hear how much you and your mother enjoyed traveling with Erik. His passion for Ecuador and dedication to ensuring a safe and enriching journey clearly shone through. Navigating Ecuador's roads while answering your questions sounds like no small feat, and we're glad he made you feel safe and well taken care of. Your feedback about the itinerary is much appreciated. Starting in high altitude and then moving to the Amazon and back can definitely be tough on the body. Reversing the order to include Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Baños, and then the Amazon sounds like a fantastic suggestion to create a smoother experience. Thank you again for the kind words, and we’ll be sure to pass them along to Erik. We're thrilled he could share his love for Ecuador with you!

6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi...: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi... cost?

+

Prices start at $436 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi... take?

+

Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

Is 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi... worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi...?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi... suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi...?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 6 Days: Quito, Otavalo, Amazon, Tungurahua, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi... start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Quito?

+

On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Quito?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Quito?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
