Ecuador

Where the highest capital city shines among the peaks of the Andes

Unlike other South American countries, Ecuador is relatively small, but boasts the highest capital city in the world. Quito delights visitors with its wonderful churches, numerous monasteries, and colonial buildings. It nestles gently in a wide valley basin and is located very close to the equator. Immerse yourself in a world that is reminiscent of Europe in many details, but is also inspired by the hot rhythms of Latin America. During a luxury vacation in Ecuador, you should not miss this wonderful city, but enjoy the ancient traditions and magnificent splendor to the fullest.

Round trips in Ecuador

Where else can you get closer to heaven than when floating through the Andes? The TelefériQo gondolas take you up to the flank of Rucu Pinchincha at an altitude of 4,100 meters. If you dare, you can even hike further up to the high summit, which is 4,700 meters above sea level. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view, and the climb is classified as easy by experts. When you retreat to your exclusive accommodation in the evening after such a wonderful day and reflect on the moments of the day in front of the crackling fireplace, it is guaranteed to feel like a wonderful dream. However, there are many more wonderful experiences to be had on your luxury trip to Ecuador, which gradually come together like a magnificent puzzle to create a vacation you will never forget. An adventurous mountain bike tour takes you downhill at full speed. Let yourself go, because here you will descend a full 3,300 meters on the almost 6,000-meter-high Cotopaxi volcano.
