    Spectacular!

    Luis the guide was amazing in every way. The hike was in stunning scenery, not to be matched anywhere. I loved this hike because it’s off the beaten track, and not many tourists. Make sure you take pics on the way up, because the very minute I got to the top, a cloud came from nowhere! So fun! Just do it! Thanks Luis for a fabulous day.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you so much for choosing our hiking day in Fuya Fuya... It was our pleasure. Kind regards,

    Great hike to Fuya Fuya summit.

    I had a great time hiking up to the summit of Fuya Fuya with my guide Hugo. Then a nice hour shopping at Otavalo market.

    Response from the operator: You made It! Thank you very much for reaching the summit of Fuya Fuya! We are glad to know you liked the time with our tour guide, and especially to know you enjoyed your hike and your shopping time at the market! Thank you for visiting Ecuador, and we wish you all the best in the future! Kind regards, Ecuador Best Tours,

    Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 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 Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market 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 Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market 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.

    What is included in Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip?

    +

    Included: Box Lunch; Private transportation; All Fees and Taxes; and Certified Tour Guide. Not included: Extra Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 325 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip?

    +

    Is Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Fuya Fuya Hike and Otavalo Market Day Trip if the weather is bad?
