This Learning Tour of Ecuador takes you into the home churches of the Franciscan, Mercedarios, Dominican, and Augustinian Orders to start the trip off with an educational and visually splendid bang.
You’ll then see the Mitad del Mundo and the Equator Museum, seeing all that the Middle of the Earth has to offer before going WAY back to Pre-Incan History at the Cochasqui Pyramids.
Week 2 will make your jaw hit the floor as you take in the sites and historical facts, mythical stories, and folklore of the beautiful city of Cuenca, the Nariz Del Diablo Train Experience, and the Ingapirca Ruins.
Week 3 is jam picked with history: see La Compania de Jesus Church and La Basillica de Quito Church and learn about the History of the Jesuit Order before perusing the famous artwork of the Guayasamin Museum. A Kichwa Language and History class will take you deep into the history of Ecuador, and tours to the Cotopaxi Volcano and Antisana Reserve will show you the natural wonder of this beautiful country.
Week 4 is highlighted by can’t-miss attractions: a two day tour of the Mindo Cloud Forest and a day trip to Teleferico and the Pichincha Volcano.
