Overview

This 3-stop tour carefully combines contemplation, discovery and relaxation. With the guidance of an ecologist specialized in conservation, you will discover the mysteries and importance of one of the most beautiful ecosystems, the Oyacachi moor. That will be the first stop, where we will enter the silence of the moor surrounded by mountains and lagoons. If we are lucky, we will be able to observe the spectacled bear. Guango Lodge will be the next stop, full of life and birds, where we can observe toucans and hummingbirds. Finally, at the third stop you can relax in the most impressive hot springs in Ecuador and Latin America. Every minute of this trip has been carefully designed so that you can enjoy one of the best experiences of your life.

Don't forget your swimsuit and a good jacket!
