Highlights
  • Intinan Museum - The Intiñan Musuem is located just outside of Quito right next to the Mitad del Mundo monument. Most people know that Mitad del Mundo’s equator line is a bit off. Intiñan has their own marker and it’s closer to the right spot.
  • El Pahuma Orchid Reserve - Pahuma Orchid Reserve is a 650 hectare (approx. 1,500 acres) protected cloud forest located only one hour from Quito. The reserve is home to over 300 species of orchids, the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus), the Plate-billed Mountain Toucan (Andigena laminirostris), and other spectacular montane forest species.
  • Alambi Reserve - Alambi is a family home-style guesthouse set in 250 hectares (625 acres) of mostly primary cloud forest at the foot of the Tandayapa Valley, famed among world birders.

A Splendid Day Tour outside of Quito - A welcome escape from the city demands of Quito, run by a professional, witty, knowledgeable guide (Oscar), with an skilled, helpful driver. The small group of adults were introduced to the cloud forest and its remarkable flora and fauna, as well as the amusing equator “museum” of indigenous Amazon’s peoples.
