A day in the park

Leave early from Quito by car and travel along the Pan-American Highway to the south, to visit the Cotopaxi National Park, an ecological sanctuary around the magnificent Cotopaxi Volcano, which rises 19,347 feet above sea level. The evergreen landscape of the Ecuadorian highlands is one of the main attractions, along valleys and mountains covered by multi-coloured fields.

After an hour and a half, the entrance to the park is reached and then it's up a dirt road for another hour. On arrival there is an introductory talk about the Andean paramo or moorlands and its flora and fauna in the small interpretation centre. Continue on to Limpiopungo Lagoon to observe a variety of birds and wild horses with the Cotopaxi Volcano as the magnificent backdrop. Lunch is at a park restaurant before returning to Quito.

Market trip comes in handy

This excursion goes north, to the land of the Otavalos and South America's most famous Indian fair along the Pan American Highway through dramatic mountain scenery to the textile market of Otavalo, where you will enjoy visiting the many stalls full of ponchos, scarves, blankets, wall hangings, woven belts (fajas), hats, handbags and much more.

Here Otavalenos barter in silence, in marked contrast to the raucous noise of other markets. Take your time to negotiate the best bargains then carry on to Peguche, a nearby Indian village that is home to the artisans who do the weaving in their homes. Here you can learn about their culture and everyday life. Lunch is at one of the charming country inns or haciendas of the area.

No degree of latitude!

The capital of Ecuador, Quito, brings the past to life in its museums, monasteries, the carved stone facades and golden altars of its many churches. And on this tour you can enjoy the scenic, Colonial and artistic side of the city, then stand with a foot on each hemisphere at the Centre of the World - the Equatorial Monument 20 miles north of Quito, which marks the exact middle of the world, latitude 0º.

Visit the Ethnographic Museum inside the monument, which shows the different Native American groups living in Ecuador. Beside the monument there is a colonial-style town, complete with main square, church, post office, bullring, cafes, restaurants and many gift shops with postcards and souvenirs. And you will also be given a certificate for having crossed the Equator.
