DAY 1 - March 11, 2027

Upon disembarkation in Callao, you will be met by our local representatives and transferred to Lima Airport for a flight to Quito. Upon arrival at the airport, our representatives will assist you with the check-in process.

The flight is not accompanied.

Located at the base of Volcan Pichincha, Quito is known for its mild climate, rich history, and well-preserved colonial architecture. Once home to the Quitu tribe, later part of the Inca Empire, and re-founded by the Spanish in 1534, Quito was also key in independence movements. At 9,300 feet, it is the world’s second-highest capital and became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.

Arriving in Quito, you’ll go through immigration, collect your luggage, and meet our local representative, who will transfer you to Quito.

Here you will visit El Panecillo, the iconic hill rising at the southern end of the old town. See the statue of Quito’s “Winged Virgin”, visible from almost anywhere in the city, and enjoy the stunning view of colonial Quito.

Pass by the San Francisco Church, founded in the 16th century, and visit the Church of La Compañía, admiring its magnificent structure and the seven tons of gold covering its gleaming walls. Explore on foot the Plaza de la Independencia, flanked by the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop’s Palace, and Quito Cathedral. Take in the beautiful centuries-old buildings. With picturesque cobblestone streets, flower-adorned balconies, and a lifestyle that has barely changed over the centuries, the historic center is truly the soul of Quito.

An early dinner will be served at local restaurant and then you will transfer to your hotel for check in.

DAY 2 - March 12, 2027

After breakfast, meet your guide and head to the “Mitad del Mundo”, a famous site built on the Equator, where you can stand in both hemispheres at the same time. Here, we will visit the Intiñan Ethnographic Museum, which showcases the history, customs, and way of life of Ecuador’s pre-Columbian indigenous peoples. The museum also offers interactive demonstrations about the region’s geography, magnetism, and natural sciences.

Continue to Mashpi Lodge, located on the western slope of the Andes. The journey offers a chance to discover the stunning Andean landscape, as you descend from 2,800 meters (9,186 ft) to 1,000 meters (3,281 ft) above sea level. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch.

Mashpi Lodge is truly a destination where nature meets luxury, a boutique hotel designed with plenty of windows to give guests a front-row seat to one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.

Located on a scenic plateau in the heart of a biosphere reserve, Mashpi Lodge features breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest and mountains and the unique ecosystems within them. Every detail, from its architectural grandeur to its sophisticated interiors, allows guests to be deeply immersed in the splendor of nature through its expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows.

Far more than just a five-star hotel in an exquisite location; the lodge also provides access to the Mashpi Reserve and a research station that is at the forefront of rainforest protection and education.

You will have the opportunity to join a variety of unforgettable tours including bird watching. More than 400 avian species have been catalogued in the reserve, 35 of which are not found anywhere else on Earth. You can also visit the hummingbird garden, the observation tower, life center, butterfly farm and interactive laboratory. Other options include a day or evening hike and a Sky Bike tour above the forest canopy.

After settling comfortably into your room, you will be welcomed by one of the lodge’s naturalists for an introductory talk on the cloud forest, its conservation, planned activities, and practical tips on what to wear and bring for excursions. This informative 30-minute presentation takes place in the library.

In the afternoon, gather in the lobby for an excursion to the Napa Trail. This scenic trail passes through regenerating forest as well as pristine areas, making it ideal for learning about ecological succession and the importance of conservation in the Chocó region. Toward the end of the trail, visitors encounter a distinctive iron palm forest (Iriartea deltoidea). This moderate two-hour hike is also excellent for birdwatching.

In the evening, guests may attend an educational lecture led by a resident naturalist or biologist. Topics include the secret wildlife of Mashpi, the Choco as a global biodiversity hotspot, and ongoing scientific research projects, offering a deeper understanding of this unique ecosystem.

Dinner will be served at the lodge.

DAY 3 – March 13, 2027

After breakfast at the lodge, guests will participate in activities of their choosing.

The below represents a sample of the activities that you may wish to participate in.

Every experience at Mashpi is tailored to your interests and ability levels. When you arrive at the lodge, you will see a chart with all the available activities. Adjustments can be made at any time along the way, ensuring that you have the experience of a lifetime.

Early Bird Watching - Optional - Mashpi Lodge offers a haven to bird enthusiasts seeking to view the species that inhabit the beautiful Choco Bioregion, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Every morning starting at 6:00am, guests can go to the lodge rooftop terrace where freshly baked snacks and hot coffee, tea and chocolate are set out, along with spotting scopes and binoculars. As the day breaks, the air fills with the sounds of hundreds of birds, many of which are perched in the trees and vegetation in the immediate surroundings of the lodge, allowing guests to often see incredibly rare species without leaving the lodge. Duration is approximately 1 hour.

Morning – Sky Bike & Observation Tower - Departure on foot to the Sky Bike and Observation Tower (15-minute walk). Experience the forest canopy on the Sky Bike, followed by a visit to the 30-meter observation tower offering panoramic views of the cloud forest. Optional return hikes via the Oxibelis Trail or the more challenging Limones Trail to San Vicente Waterfall. Total duration: 2–4 hours. Refreshments and lunch at the lodge upon return.

Afternoon – Howler Monkeys Trail & Life Center - Guided walk along the Howler Monkeys Trail through primary forest to the Life Center. Learn about native flora, wildlife, and conservation efforts, and observe birds and small mammals from the viewing deck. Visit the butterfly exhibits and surrounding gardens.

Evening – Night hike - The forest is transformed completely during the night, the sounds and smells are intensified, and other senses are awakened. On this “night safari”, unlike others, guests find the beauty in the small details, the croaking of frogs or the hum of insects. And if you turn off your flashlight you can observe the sparkling of fireflies in the woods or listening to the flutter of bats and if you look carefully to the ground the faint glow of bioluminescent fungi (foxfire or fairy fire) surrounding you. When you turn on the lights again you can see the reflection of hundreds of tiny eyes of insects all around. As we continue our way you can hear the call of owls and night birds or the rustling of the branches above you when the kinkajous (Potos flavus), an arboreal mammal relative to the raccoons, open their road through the treetops, searching for ripe fruits. No doubt, this is an overwhelming experience. The excursion begins at 19:00 and takes about 45 min to an hour, and you will be back on time to enjoy a delicious dinner.

DAY 4 - March 14, 2027

After breakfast at lodge, enjoy one last morning activity. At the scheduled time, depart and drive back to Quito Airport for a flight to Guayaquil.

Upon arrival in Guayaquil, collect your luggage and meet our local representatives in the arrivals hall. Then, proceed to a local restaurant for lunch.

After lunch enjoy a scenic tour of Guayaquil, visiting top highlights like Malecon 2000, Parque Seminario with its famous iguanas (a perfect spot for photos), and the charming historic Las Peñas neighbourhood. Enjoy stunning views of the Guayas River and soak in the city’s vibrant culture, history, and architecture.

In time, proceed to the Port of Guayaquil where you will re-join the ship.

DAY 2 - March 12, 2027

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel and then meet your guide. This morning, you will drive north from Quito through scenic mountain landscapes to Quitsato, which comes from the Tsafiqui language of the Tsáchila people: quitsa means “middle” and to means “world,” referring to the Middle of the World.

Quitsato is a solar museum and cultural site in Ecuador, located exactly on the Equator near Cayambe. It is famous for its giant solar clock, which uses the Sun’s shadow to indicate time, solstices, and equinoxes.

The Otavaleños are among the most prosperous indigenous groups in Ecuador, largely thanks to their highly sought-after textiles, carpets, colorful ponchos, traditional jewelry, and intricate needlework.

Explore the Plaza del Poncho, the heart of the textile market, bursting with color and local craftsmanship. Observe the traditional dress worn by market vendors, which reflects the evolution of Andean garments while preserving cultural identity. Also, visit the local produce market, where you can discover a variety of Ecuador’s unique fruits and vegetables.

Next, head to the charming village of Peguche, home to a family workshop that produces traditional Andean musical instruments. Learn how to craft a pan-flute and enjoy beautiful highland music performed by the family. Guests can even try playing the instruments themselves, a fun challenge!

Finally, visit the Arte Nayia Gallery, run by a local family specializing in handcrafted dreamcatchers. Here, guests can learn about the tradition behind these creations and even make their own unique piece to take home, embedding their personal wishes and hopes for the future while spending time with the family.

After lunch at local restaurant transfer to Cuicocha, a crater lake located in the Ecuadorian Andes, within the Cotacachi-Cayapas Biosphere Reserve. It was formed by an eruption of the Cotacachi volcano and features emerald-colored waters surrounded by steep cliffs. In the center of the lake are small volcanic islands. It is an ideal spot for hiking, boat rides, and birdwatching. A short walk along the trail will allow you to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

DAY 1 - Thursday, March 11, 2027

After disembarking in Callao, meet your guide and transfer to the airport for a scheduled flight to Arequipa. Upon arrival in Arequipa, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

Next, transfer to the impressive Carmen Alto viewpoint, where you will enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Continue to the colonial district of Yanahuara, a charming neighborhood of narrow cobblestone streets and traditional white houses built of volcanic stone. From here, admire magnificent views of the three volcanoes that dominate the skyline: Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu.

Visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, the most important and impressive religious monument in Peru. Founded in 1579, this vast walled citadel gradually expanded to include cloisters, plazas, narrow streets, tiled roofs, and cobblestone paths. For centuries, it functioned as a secluded convent for nuns from the city’s most distinguished families.

Next, enjoy a walking tour of Arequipa’s UNESCO-listed Historic Centre, including the Plaza de Armas. Known as the “White City,” Arequipa owes its nickname to the extensive use of sillar, a white volcanic stone used in the construction of its churches, mansions, and civic buildings. The historic center reflects a remarkable fusion of European and indigenous architectural techniques, brought to life by colonial masters as well as Criollo and Indigenous artisans.

Return to your hotel for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, visit Añashuayco, going back to the past and crossing this narrow ravine whose opening has been eroded for thousands of years by water and wind. During the tour you can rest in the shade on ashlar seats and appreciate the beautiful desert landscape that nature gives us.

After this incredible visit, continue to the district of Chivay, on the outside of the city of Arequipa. Enjoy the beautiful landscape during the approximately 4-hour drive. A box lunch will be provided.

Upon arrival in Chivay, visit the local market and its typical Andean Plaza de Armas and then transfer to your hotel near the Colca Canyon for dinner and overnight.

DAY 3 - Saturday, March 13, 2027

After an early breakfast, depart very early in the morning towards the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint, where you will observe the impressive depths of the Colca Canyon, considered deeper than the Grand Canyon in Colorado. This is one of the best places to witness the majestic flight of Andean condors in their natural habitat.

Continue your journey with visits to the traditional villages of Maca and Yanque, home to beautiful colonial-era churches. Along the way, stop at the scenic viewpoints of Wayra Punku and Antahuilque, offering striking panoramic views of the canyon and surrounding landscapes.

Enjoy lunch before driving to Arequipa where you will have dinner at your hotel in Arequipa before retiring for the night.
