Great Experience
I had a fantastic experience with Andean Roots. I spent the day with two experienced and knowledgeable guides, and I always felt safe and well looked after. We were lucky enough to spot an Andean bear from quite a distance. With my telephoto lens, I was still able to get some really good photos, which made the sighting even more special. What I really enjoyed was learning not only about the wildlife and nature, but also about everyday life and society in Ecuador. The guides shared so much interesting information and were both very friendly and passionate about what they do. We ended the day by having a delicious local fritada together for lunch, which was a great way to finish the experience. I’m very happy that I got to meet both guides and take away so many positive impressions and memories from the day. I would definitely recommend Andean Roots to anyone who wants to experience Ecuador with knowledgeable and genuinely friendly guides.

We had a private tour,...
We had a private tour, means only the two of us, with an experienced naturlaist guide. Christian and we were very lucky to see about 15 condors flying in Tambo Condor, lots of Caracaras, deer, andean gulls amongst other wild animals. The landscape in the Antinsana NP is just breathtaking. We absolutely recomend this day tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Adrian thank you very much for your comment, the climate of our country gifted you one of the best experiences by allowing you to see condors in their natural habitat and we are very happy to have been part of your great day.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip?
+
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 FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does FullDay - Antisana Private Nature & Wildlife Day Trip 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.
