Awesome Day Trips from Quito

Exploring the historic center of Quito or “Casco Viejo” is a great option during your visit to Ecuador!

You can do it as a half day tour or you can combine it with a cultural lunch and a visit to the Equator to make it a full day tour.

If you have more time you can do any of the day trips listed below.

Some day trips will take you to the mountains to see the volcanoes of the Andes, the natural hot springs or the incredible cloud forest with exotic birds! Other day trips focus on exploring an indigenous market and learning about the culture.

All of our day tours support social or environmental causes in which you can get involved. They may include supporting an orphanage or a shelter for homeless people, caring for stray dogs, donating material for a public school or interacting with an indigenous family. Needless to say, all of them will bring you joy and we will make sure you have the best experience!
