    Fantastic Experience!

    This was far and away one of the best tours we've taken on any of our trips! Jose was unbelievable, giving us personal touches to the experience throughout the trip based on things we mentioned or were interested in. Super flexible, friendly, knowledgable. It felt like we were travelling with a close friend who we had known for our entire lives. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone, particularly if you would like to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

    Phenomenal trip with an amazing guide

    Our trip from the Andes to the Amazon was spectacular. Santiago, our guide, was one of the best guides we had ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgable on all things Ecuador and wildlife; we learned an immense amount on our drives alone. The trip itself was very diverse, starting and ending the 3 day tour with volcano visits, and trekking through the Amazon in between. Our hotel stay in Baños was great and the city of Baños was also very charming and beautiful. 100% would recommend this trip to anyone, especially those who are passionate about biology and wildlife!

    Response from the operator: Dear Jessica, We're very proud of our guides, they are always willing to share their knowledge and to show the wonders of Ecuador. That's why we're extremely happy to read that you had a phenomenal trip with Santiago and that you learned a lot from him. Thank you very much for taking the time to write this comment and recommending our tours. We hope you can visit us in the near future; it'll be a great pleasure to assist you again!

    Three action packed days on the road

    From the pick up at our hotel to the drop off we had a great time. Lots of sights, hiking and nature. Our guide was amazing; explaining geology, flora and fauna of the three regions we travelled through. We even had a little time for shopping along the way.

    Response from the operator: Dear Bob, We greatly appreciate your feedback. We're so glad to know you had great time from the first moment till the end of your trip. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We hope to have you back in Ecuador soon!

    Excellent experience

    The tour guide is really knowledgable and is himself an experienced adventurer which makes a big difference to the travelling experience. We discovered a lot more of nature which wouldn't have been possible from the group tour.

    Response from the operator: Hello Andy, Thanks for leaving a review. We're pleased to know you had an excellent experience with Daniel and that you were able to discover more nature during your trip in Ecuador. We hope to see you again soon!

    From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $905 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 From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi?

    +

    Around 2 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - 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 Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. 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.

    What is included in From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi?

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From the Andes to the Amazon 3D- 2N Quilotoa- Baños- Pastaza River - Cotopaxi?
