Your Tour Itinerary:

Aug 12  Upon your arrival in Quito, Ecuador, our guides will meet you at the airport and escort you to our comfortable bus for a guided tour from the airport to the 5 star JW Marriott Hotel. The JW Marriott is one of the newest and most luxurious hotel in Quito and offers some great views of the surrounding Andean mountains. On a clear day you are able to see both Cotopaxi and Cayambe volcanoes!
Aug 13  Early morning is usually a good time to see if you can see the glacier clad volcanoes (on the equator!). After a delicious buffet breakfast, there will be company meetings from 9 AM to 1PM. The afternoon will be free to explore or to enjoy the hotel's facilities.  There will be a welcome dinner at the San Francisco (1536) convent located in the colonial downtown (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in a private refectory and presenting the local folkloric Jacchigua Ballet. This fantastic folk dance presents 50 people on stage. Be prepared for an unforgettable and entertaining dinner show! Overnight at the JW Marriott.
Aug 14-15  After breakfast, you will board the bus for a trip to Otavalo - the capital of the province of Imbabura. This trip is a treat of brilliant scenery and artisan villages, like Calderón, a small town where bread dough figurines are made in many shapes and sizes. Continue along the valleys of Guayllabamba and Cayambe, with their dairy farms and rose plantations. The famous Otavalo market offers ponchos, woolen goods, tapestries, the original "Panama" hat, sweaters, Indian jewelry and many handicrafts.  Arrive at lunchtime to one of the charming country inns or colonial haciendas where you will spend the night. We will also visit the town of San Antonio de Ibarra, famous for the woodcarvings, the town of Cotacachi, an entire town dedicated to selling fine leather products, and the town of Peguche where textiles are woven in old-fashioned shuttle looms.  This tour includes walking at an altitude of 2800 meters (9200 feet) .
