Fantastic day trip to Cotopaxi! - My husband and I went with Stefany and Christian to Cotopaxi and did the climb to the refugio followed by a stop at the lake and delicious lunch. It was a fantastic trip and one of the highlights of our stay in Quito. Stefany was an excellent guide—friendly hand very knowledgeable with Ecuador history, culture and Cotopaxi geography and wildlife. They were on time and organized and got us there earlier in the day, which was key for getting a great view of the mountain. I’ll also note that we were originally interested in another tour (hopefully to see condors at Antisana). The team at Instinto let us know it was not the best time of year for that. I appreciated the honesty, and in the end we got lucky and saw a condor at Cotopaxi!

Photo shoot flying dress. - The experience of the photo shoot in a flying dress was very exciting, for political reasons it could not be done in the Historic Center, however the suggestion of Cristian, the photographer, was excellent; the view from the Bread roll was incredible. The photographer had no assistant so we helped in the movement of the dress, particularly it was a unique experience, very professional, there was a lot of help in the posture of the body and face. Another important aspect was the makeup and hairstyle, very beautiful and to the taste of the client, the colors of the beautiful dresses. 100% recommended.

Climb, explore, venture out to discover Quito - Ecuador - We had a fantastic experience and with the attention of the guide, who took us to the Chimborazo volcano, an unmissable activity, presenting all possible information about the country and places visited, an itinerary designed to help us learn about the history of the Inca people, from an archaeological site to the place where there is the Inca calendar and even took us to the local gastronomic experience. I recommend these and other activities with the Ecuador Institute guide, Stephani, for her friendliness and desire to offer tourists a fantastic day in her country,
