What is the food like?

On this day of adventure, you’ll be fueled by delicious local food, such potato soup, corn, fresh vegetables with plenty of local fresh tropical fruits. Lunch usually consists of nice picnic self-service in the mountains and local restaurants that serve traditional soup, main dish and juice, a warm and filling meal after a big day of adventure.

Day 1

One of the most beautiful natural sceneries in Otavalo and its province. The Mojanda Lagoon
in Tabacundo is surrounded by grasslands and remnants of native forests that maintain a
biodiversity representative of the northern Andean moors.
Mojanda is actually a complex of two volcanoes that were active simultaneously. The volcanic
vents are only 3 km away. The other volcano, which produced at least two own Plinian
eruptions are known as Fuya-Fuya.

We will pick you up at 6:00 am to drive through beautiful landscapes in Ecuador. At 8:30 am,
we will arrive in Mojanda lagoon. After this, we will hike to the summit of Fuya-Fuya to reach
4.263 m / 13,986 ft., 5 hours of hiking approximately. Fuya-Fuya partially collapsed about
165.00 years ago, creating a large caldera to the west. A new volcanic cone and other lava
domes subsequently extruded into the caldera, probably during the late Pleistocene. We will
be returning to Quito at 17:00 pm approximate.

How much should I tip?

Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. Your guide will help with advice; however, we suggest the below as a guideline per person:

Guides: USD 10- USD 15 per day

Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality – a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service

What Do I Do about drinking water?

The tap water in Ecuador is not always friendly on the stomach for those who haven’t been in Latin America for a while. There is purified water in each of the accommodation which you can use to fill up each morning, so be sure to pack a reusable water bottle or two. There will also be water in the transportation.

What’s the weather like?

Seasons in Ecuador have nothing to do with temperature – instead there is a dry season and a wet season. In Ecuador, the winter season is hot and wet, and the summer is dry and cold. Ecuador’s dry, summer season falls between May and December. January to April is Ecuador’s wet wintertime. There is not much of a transition between the seasons.

Most of Ecuador has mild temperatures year-round. In the highlands of the Andes, the temperatures are usually cooler and depend of the altitude mainly, the higher the colder, The average temperature in Quito is in the mid-60s Fahrenheit (17 – 18 degrees Celsius). But the average temperature by the snow-cover volcanos can be mid-50s Fahrenheit (10 – 13 degrees Celsius).

What vaccinations do I need?
