Day 9: Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca

When gazing upon these geological formations, one gets the feeling that they are covered with a colorful fabric or painted by an original artist from the surrealist or fauvist community. In reality, nature is the artist behind this masterpiece, and it took her a considerable amount of time. Today, the result of centuries of creation can be admired by any traveler visiting Peru. The Seven-colored, Rainbow, or Vinicunca Mountain (in Quechua, Vinicunca), which locals simply call the 'Colored Hill,' rises in the homonymous valley (in Spanish, Valle de Vinikunka) and is a fragment of the Andean mountain range Cordillera de Vilcanota.

In the Quechua language, 'Vinicunca' literally means 'Mountains colored with the flowers of the rainbow.' The name comes from two Quechuan words: 'wini' - stone (here, there are always many stones), and 'kunka' - throat (referring to the narrow pass). The height of the massif, situated amidst aquamarine lagoons and shimmering snow-capped peaks, reaches 5200 meters above sea level. From the mountain tops, there is a magnificent view of the Ausangate Glacier, crowning the sacred Inca mountain. Annually, pilgrims gather at the temple at the foot of the mountain, which the indigenous people simply call Apu (Quechua Apu - 'Sacred'), for the ritual celebration of the Qoyllur Rit’i day and the offering of holy gifts. This festival is dedicated to the Inca deity Apu (or Apo), personifying mountain spirits, one of the main patron saints of Cusco. After the arrival of the conquistadors in these areas, pagan traditions gradually blended with Christian rituals, and now this ceremony intertwines with the celebration of the Holy Trinity.

Full-day guided excursion with breakfast and lunch. The tour begins at 4 a.m., returning to Cusco at 7 p.m. This excursion is designed for the resilient. (Possibility to ascend the last 300 meters on horseback. Cost of the horse is $60.)

Accommodation at the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas Hotel, Junior Suite, Bed and Breakfast. Night in Cusco.

Day 10: Cusco

Visit to the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park (approximately 3.5 hours)
Visit to Tambomachay & panoramic overview of Puka Pukara.

Next, we will continue our journey to the Temple of Coricancha, which will greet us with its magnificence. The Golden Enclosure, as its name signifies in Quechua, still allows us to sense the grandeur of its walls, which were once adorned with sheets of gold. From the Saint Blas quarter, the artisan's district, we will stroll along Hatun Rumiyoc Street, observing along the way the Inca Roca Palace, which today serves as the Archbishop's Palace. We will have time to appreciate the world-famous Twelve-Angle Stone. We will head to the main square to visit the cathedral, housing priceless colonial art.

Day 11: Cusco - Quito

Transfer to the airport for departure and layover. 10:55-17:47
Arrival in Quito. Transfer to Casa Gangotena Hotel.

Day 12: Quito

Transfer to Mashpi Lodge with a driver. (Cloud Forest) (3 hours)

The wonders awaiting visitors at Mashpi Lodge will delight even the most seasoned nature enthusiasts. Situated at an elevation of 950 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountainous and humid tropical forests, the lodge is enveloped in a plethora of plant species: from ferns and bromeliads to hundreds of orchid varieties, many of which have been discovered quite recently. There is an astonishing figure of 500 bird species, including 36 endemics, in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Monkeys, peccaries, and pumas inhabit the forest amidst waterfalls.

Day 13:Quito

Hotel's 3-day/2-night group program (full board)
Refreshing Waterfalls
Water is essential for life in Mashpi, and there's nothing more refreshing than taking a dip in the cool water at the end of a hike. Several rivers flow through the Mashpi Reserve near the lodge, featuring numerous small waterfalls and pools. The water temperature ranges from 18 to 20°C.

Day 14:Quito

Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer to Quito with a driver. Transfer to Casa Gangotena Hotel.

Sightseeing tour of Quito with a visit to the equator line.
Duration of the excursion day including transfers – 8 hours.
Altitude – 2800m.
Average temperature - +20°C during the day, +10°C at night.

During the city tour of Quito, you will witness captivating panoramas, churches, domes, and rooftops that are historical relics, and you will learn about colonial art, architecture, culture, legends, and traditions.
Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city and is located at an altitude of 2800m. Despite the earthquake in 1917, the city has the best-preserved and least-altered historic center in Latin America. The architecture and rich interiors are examples of the Quito School of Art, which represents a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish, and indigenous art. Artists of this school worked with stone and wood to shape the most important religious events. After an hour and a half of walking through the Old Town, exploring its streets, you will understand why Quito was the first city in the world to be included in the UNESCO Cultural Heritage list.

Quito got its name from the Kichwa tribe that inhabited the region long before the Spanish conquest. In 1533, Sebastian de Benalcazar seized the city, which was initially the capital of the Inca Empire, and in 1541, it was elevated to the status of a Spanish city. Its full name is San Francisco de Quito. The city served as the capital of the Quito state until the end of Spanish colonial rule.

The Franciscan order was the first of the orders to establish itself in Quito. The Franciscans immediately began the construction of a monastery, which became a center of education and art, hosting its own schools of painting and sculpture (the Church of San Francisco is visited during the tour).

Around the main square Plaza Grande are the main buildings of the country: the Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop's Palace, and the City Hall. We will visit the finest example of colonial art in the city - the Jesuit church, whose facade is covered with intricate carvings.

Quito is the capital city with many contrasts, which you can appreciate by visiting the Old Town and the new districts. A beautiful view of the entire city will open up from the Panecillo viewpoint with the statue of the Virgin Mary with wings - the patroness of the city.

We head to the 'Middle of the World' (equator line).

1.) Ciudad Mitad del Mundo.
Ciudad Mitad del Mundo is a tourist and trade center where visitors can discover a monument built in memory of the 1736 geodetic expedition that determined the equator's passage at this location. The 'Middle of the World' tourist complex belongs to the prefecture of Pichincha province, Ecuador. It is located in the San Antonio parish of the Quito district, north of downtown Quito.
Within the complex, the headquarters of the Union of South American Nations is under construction. Between 1979 and 1982, a 30-meter monument was erected, marking the spot where, it was believed, the equator passed. A line extending from the center of the monument indicates the equator, and over the years, countless tourists have crossed it. However, in reality, the entire structure is located 240 meters south of the actual equator, which was accurately determined in the 20th century thanks to the advent of GPS positioning.

2.) Intiñan Museum.
In this museum, we will conduct a series of experiments explaining the influence of the equator on natural forces. You will also learn about the culture of ancient peoples, and we will see a series of totems from various South American cultures. Traditional dwellings from different cultures existing in the country are also displayed here, such as a house with items belonging to an indigenous family that lived in this area many generations ago.
Return to the hotel. Free time.

Day 15: Galapagos

Transfer to the airport. Flight to the Galapagos.
Breakfast at the hotel.
Transfer to the airport (1.5 hours) - flight to the Galapagos Islands.

Upon arrival at Baltra Airport, a guide will meet you, assist with luggage, and accompany you to the bus. A 10-minute ride to the Itabaca Channel, which separates Baltra Island from Santa Cruz Island, will be followed by a 5-minute motorboat crossing. From there, we will take individual transport (approximately 45 minutes) across the entire island to the town of Puerto Ayora and your hotel. Notice the change in the environment: from the red stony surface in the north to the green world of wildlife in the highlands and south.

From the airport, the guide will accompany the group to the highlands of Santa Cruz Island. During the journey through the island's agricultural zones with the surrounding wild landscapes and various flora and fauna, we'll be able to observe finches, which formed the basis for Darwin's theory of evolution.

Witness the famous Galapagos giant tortoises in their natural habitat, and learn how private farms contribute to the conservation of these unique animals and their environment. You may hear them making sounds while munching on leaves from trees or searching for tasty food. Here, you can see tortoises of different ages and sizes: young ones with shiny shells and sluggish old ones with partially cracked shells – traces of a long life.

Well-known lava tunnels are another destination of our journey. Channels formed during uneven cooling of flowing lava from the volcano slopes extend from the highlands to the shores. Lava tubes are broken in several places. However, there are preserved lava tunnels that can be walked through in 30 minutes. You'll be able to see and understand how they were formed, some areas being difficult to pass with fallen boulders. The guide will share a detailed history of the origin of these tunnels.
Included lunch. Transfer to the hotel.

A welcoming reception at the hotel will be followed by accommodation in our spacious rooms. Next, you'll have free time to explore the port town of Puerto Ayora with numerous souvenir shops.

Accommodation at the hotel.

Day 16: Galapagos

SEA EXCURSION TO BARTOLOME ISLAND
Early in the morning, you will depart from the hotel by bus to Itabaca Channel, where a yacht will be waiting for your departure.
You are in for a day in a unique corner of the Earth with beautiful white sandy beaches, an otherworldly environment, a sea with crystal clear water, and a plethora of wildlife.
During the two-hour boat ride, you will have a unique opportunity to have breakfast and witness the sunrise at sea. Also, in the early morning hours, you often have the chance to see dolphins and other sea creatures very close to the yacht.

(Breakfast, lunch, dinner)
Disembarkation on the shore of Bartolome Island. A trek awaits you uphill for approximately 30 minutes; you will traverse an almost lunar landscape and reach the highest point of the volcanic island. From there, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Santiago, Seymour Norte, Baltra, Santa Cruz, Rabida Islands, and the islet of Chinese Hat, as well as the renowned Pinnacle Rock – the remnants of an ancient volcano. This place is a habitat for thousands of birds. The panoramic view from the summit is a symbol of the Galapagos Islands, captured by many photographers.

Next - change of clothes for visiting the beach. During the boat ride, our guests will see Galapagos penguins (only 50 centimeters tall) standing at the base of the cliff or swimming at bullet speed in the clear waters of the ocean. Time for beach relaxation or snorkeling: the shallow sea allows you to swim and snorkel alongside Galapagos penguins, sharks, sea stars, rays, sea turtles, and a variety of exotic colorful fish. You will also have the opportunity to observe several species of the islands' permanent residents: marine iguanas, sea lions, pelicans, and much more. Lunch on board after this amazing adventure. Today's activities will conclude with a return to the hotel in the evening. You will have some free time to stroll around Puerto Ayora.

Accommodation at the hotel
(breakfast, lunch, dinner)

Day 17: Galapagos

SEA EXCURSION TO SEYMOUR OR PLAZA ISLAND (to be confirmed after booking; both islands are equally interesting):

SEYMOUR ISLAND
This excursion day will provide you with an amazing opportunity to visit North Seymour Island and Bachas Beach. We will travel by bus to our yacht in the Itabaca Channel, and then enjoy a one-hour cruise to North Seymour Island. Landing on the rocky shore near a small forest of gray and silver Palo Santo trees that are leafless for most of the year. Seymour Island is famous for numerous colonies of different bird species. Particularly memorable are the male frigatebirds with their red gular pouch, which they use to attract females during the mating season, and the famous blue-footed boobies. These seabirds have wedge-shaped tails and long pointed wings. During mating dances, the males raise one wing and one blue foot and begin to dance to impress the females. The excursion will continue on the beach with small cliffs, where you can see seagulls, many sea lions, marine iguanas, and pelicans. Most of the animals can be observed at arm's length.
A freshly prepared lunch is served on board the yacht. During the post-lunch break, the yacht will continue sailing to Bachas Beach on the north coast of Santa Cruz Island. First, we will walk to the lagoon behind the beach, often visited by flamingos. Next, an invigorating swim and snorkeling await us on the deserted paradise beach with white sand and turquoise water! Sea lions, various species of rays, sea turtles, and tropical fish may join you during this underwater adventure! Return to Puerto Ayora is around 16:30. Free time for a stroll along the pier, souvenir shopping, or enjoying the sunset.

PLAZA ISLAND
Departure from the hotel to the north, to Itabaca Channel. Boarding the yacht and sailing to Plaza Sur Island. This is one of the smallest islands in the archipelago, located near the eastern tip of Santa Cruz Island. After an hour and a half of sailing, Plaza welcomes guests with a red-green carpet of sesuvium, endemic plants spread across the island, and the friendly barking of several families of sea lions that inhabit the area. The turquoise ocean water perfectly harmonizes with the white sandy beaches and rock formations along the shore. The hike on the island is very easy, with the trail passing by sea lions and land iguanas, reaching the highest cliff where swallow-tailed gulls cut through the air with their calls, and sea lions, unable to resist their rivals, climb almost vertically. At the same time, tropical birds, blue-footed boobies, and frigates glide gracefully through the air. We recommend having binoculars to observe this extraordinary wildlife up close. The view from the highest point overlooking the ocean and the mighty waves crashing against the cliffs is an unforgettable sight.
The journey will then continue to Cape Carrion. Lunch on board. This is a unique spot for snorkeling and swimming alongside rays, sharks, and hundreds of colorful tropical fish.
Return to the hotel.

Day 18: Galapagos

Transfer to Baltra Airport for the return flight to Guayaquil.
Arrival - self-transfer to the international flight terminal - check-in for the international flight.

REVIEW №2- Kok

Buenas noches Viera. Antes que me comiense la semana de trabajo quisiera agradecerle por un tremendo tour que tume por Pero. Su paquete de tours fue muy personalisado para mis expectativas. Cada dia de la itinerario se cumplio como decrito. No tengo palabras para agradecer a todos los quías y taxístas que se me han asignado. Todos hicieron un buen trabajo y siempre a la hora indicada. Para una persona viajando solo eso trae tranquilidad. Los lugares que he visidado eran todos muy impresionantes. Con Cusco y los tours correspondientes los mas destacados. Me quede muy impresionado de la cultura Inca y la visita al Machu Picchu era una experiencia espiritual elevadora. El viaje de Arequipa a Nasca de 10 horas por bus era agotador. Llegue dormido a Nasca y me tuvieron que departar. Comprendo que para poder ver a el condor y también volar sobra el desierto de Nasca este viaje fue la mejor opción.
Los hoteles fueron perfectos. Mi favorita fue lq Britania Crystal Miraflores. Yo le daría 4.5 *. Yo recomendaria este tour a qualquiera que quira hacer el tour como yo lo hice. Espero que con las conecciones aerias directas proramadas entre Curacao i Lima ( comensando el fin de año) y con el nuevo aeropuerto international en Cusco en algunos años el turismo desde Curacao sea mas grande.
Una vez mas mil gracias por su atención personal para realizar mi sueno.
Mandare este mensaje también para Gina, mi contacto de A1 Travel para que sepa ella también que bien me la pase. Vere si puedo dar comentarios en TripAdvisor. ❤️

REVIEW №3- Marina Ryzhuk

Pavel, good afternoon!
My name is Marina Ryzhuk. A few weeks ago, our VIP group from St. Petersburg visited Rio with you. I believe you remember them well.
I’d like to thank you for your excellent work with our rather demanding guests. After the trip, they spoke very highly of your services. Our particularly important gentlemen especially appreciated your personal approach — you managed to find a special way to connect with them.
Through your tours, they were able to truly feel the city, which is absolutely priceless on such trips.
Thank you!

Anna, thank you very much on behalf of our tourists, the Chubar family, who visited in February.
They praised your excellent and well-organized work and were very pleased!
They said everything was as precise as with the Germans :)

REVIEW №6- Mikhail and Elena Leksikov

Good afternoon, we were in Rio de Janeiro March 15–17, 2020. Not for long, but it was very full of experiences.
The driver who met us at the airport, to our joy, spoke English and even a little Russian. He pointed out where we could walk and eat.
The next day we met Eleonora, a GUIDE and a Person with a capital P. We were lucky to visit Corcovado and see Brazil’s main symbol. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it to Sugarloaf Mountain due to the coronavirus quarantine.
Instead of the canceled excursion, Eleonora gave us an impromptu city tour. She tells stories in an interesting way, knows a lot, but doesn’t overwhelm with facts, shows where the best photo spots are, and even took pictures herself. Thanks to her, we managed to get coffee and souvenirs—it turned out not so easy to find what we wanted.
She was very caring and concerned for us—even after we went to Búzios, she kept checking how we were, suggesting where to go and what to see and buy.

A very close-knit, friendly team, always ready to help.

REVIEW №7- Nikita, Saga Tour Operator

Good afternoon, Alexandra!
Thank you very much for the organization and support.
The tourist was very happy and said everything was top-notch :)
Paraty is definitely a place to recommend—it leaves no one indifferent. Porto Real is probably in the best spot on that coast.

Thank you!
Wishing you success in everything!

REVIEW №8- Natalia

Good morning, Anya! Thank you for organizing the tour for the Efimov family, for your human touch and for always being available 24/7 to help—this is priceless!

REVIEW №9- Nassir and Sholpan

Alexandra!
Our clients have returned, very satisfied.
They left a special review about the guide in Quito:
In Quito, we had a wonderful guide named David.
During our three-day visit to Quito, your guide David was with us. He made our stay in Quito rich, interesting, and unforgettable. Not only does he know a lot about the city, the country, and its nature, he is also a truly interesting person himself. Our three days were filled with conversations about everything. Our knowledge of Ecuador is now practically encyclopedic—we learned so much. And the most important part was that it all happened through engaging discussions.
We’d like to highlight his punctuality, his thoughtfulness, and his attention to detail. His advice on restaurants and places to walk during our free time was invaluable. We’ve met many guides—this is the 103rd country we’ve visited. We don’t always get so lucky with a guide, but David was exceptional. Thank you to him and to all of you!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION.

REVIEW №10- Elena and Evgeny

REVIEW №26- Adam M.

A poem dedicated to the Ada Tours guide!
In Rio, where sunlight meets golden skies,
Our guide Paulo greets us with kind, warm eyes.
He knows the whole city, where secrets lie deep,
And welcomes each guest with joy that’s sincere.
“Come on,” he says, “to Corcovado,
Christ calls you up to heaven’s shadow.
Then on to the beach, where waves beat the shore,
Copacabana invites us once more.”

Paulo will show us where samba resides,
Where Brazil’s true heartbeat endlessly thrives.
In favelas he sees not poverty, but life,
Where sparks of hope conquer struggle and strife.

With a smile, he leads us along every way,
Paulo’s our friend, our golden pathway.
A Brazilian guide, a master of wonder,
With him, Rio feels closer to heaven’s splendor.

This poem is from me, for you.
Author: Adam M.

And Tiago – we spent two days with him. He’s amazing. Even after 18 years of work, he hasn’t lost the ability to genuinely admire the beauty of the waterfalls. He still takes photos like it’s the first time.
With your guides, it’s never boring! Thank you once again!!!

Hello, Alexandra.
I am sending you the full version of the tourists’ feedback:
We are publishing our review after our trip through Argentina–Uruguay–Brazil with my wife. It is always a pleasure to share emotions when they are entirely positive! We want to thank the entire Ada Tours team who helped us organize the perfect journey. From the very idea of the trip to its completion, you were always in touch with us, tailoring excursions and building the itinerary based on our requests, while also giving valuable advice and making all necessary adjustments. Everything exceeded our already high expectations – the trip was very rich and exciting! We recommend this route to everyone, especially when its organization can be entrusted to professionals☺️
We would especially like to thank you for selecting wonderful guides and drivers. At every stage, everything went like clockwork – we never missed a single thing, and the drivers were always extremely polite and pleasant.
Our journey began in Buenos Aires with a city tour. We visited the main square – Plaza de Mayo, cathedrals, and saw key architectural monuments from the Spanish colonial period, as well as the modern financial center. We explored the vibrant and colorful La Boca district and the main city ports. We were lucky with the weather, and the tour was fascinating. The guide advised us to visit several additional places, and we chose the Recoleta Cemetery, where many of Argentina’s most famous figures are buried. After the tour, we asked to be dropped off near the entrance and bought tickets. The only issue we faced was that we couldn’t pay in cash, but other visitors kindly helped us with the payment. The cemetery left a strong impression on us – we would definitely recommend it as a must-visit.
In the evening, we went to a tango show that exceeded all expectations. We watched authentic Argentine tango performed to live music, enjoyed Argentine wine, and saw other artists showcasing traditional instruments. The show was incredible and allowed us to truly experience the local culture.
The next morning we traveled by ferry to Montevideo. The journey was very comfortable; we would only recommend bringing snacks and an extra layer of clothing, as despite the heat, the ferry was air-conditioned and quite cool inside. We loved the city itself – we managed to see all the main sights and stroll along the coast. Midway through the tour, a wonderful lunch was arranged for us, followed by a light meal at the hotel.
After Montevideo, we continued as planned to Patagonia, where we spent just under three days. This place amazed us – it’s like nowhere else on Earth. From our hotel, we could see the vast Lake Argentino with its turquoise waters (sometimes flamingos can be seen there, though unfortunately we didn’t). The scenery of the Patagonian steppe and mountains will remain in our hearts for a long time. We took an excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier – a unique wonder, truly beyond words. Probably the most powerful impression of the whole trip came from this glacier and the national park. It’s something everyone should witness with their own eyes.
After our mini-journey in Patagonia, we went on to Iguassu Falls, viewing them from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. The sight was utterly unique and magical! Jungle, soaring eagles, butterflies, monkeys, and an endless chain of waterfalls stretching beyond sight. The park’s trails are very well maintained, with rest areas to escape the heat and humidity, and facilities everywhere.
The final stop of our trip was Brazil’s tourist capital – Rio de Janeiro. We visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, with its breathtaking views of the city, then spent time on Copacabana Beach, enjoying the Atlantic Ocean.
Overall, our journey was amazing and very full! And most importantly – as comfortable as possible, considering how vast the geography of our route was. Thank you!
Once again, thank you!

REVIEW №31- Dmitry Romanov

Dear Alexandra!
Thank you for organizing the trip for our important clients.
It was a real pleasure working with you, and I apologize for bombarding you with questions of varying importance. The thing is, when we were selecting a partner to handle this request, many of our colleagues who shared DMC contacts warned me that there would inevitably be problems, insisting that in Brazil no one could arrange a program without “mistakes.” Because of this, I was genuinely worried. And after receiving the first replies from other companies to my requests, I too started to believe that problems would definitely arise along the way. But that was only until I received your reply.
Everything was clear, to the point, and most importantly – your support on all matters. From nudging hotel concierges to answer my emails to recommending a restaurant in São Paulo. The clients really liked the restaurant – a special BIG THANK YOU for that recommendation!
The clients’ comments about the trip, verbatim: “We loved everything, the trip was pure joy. Especially São Paulo – it’s Paradise.”
Thank you so much for your help, your support, and simply for being in Brazil!
I’ll stay in touch and wish you a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Dmitry Romanov

My client has returned and wrote a thank-you letter. They liked everything, especially Iguassu and Paraty – they truly fell in love with those places.
The only thing is, they didn’t manage to see jaguars. She is planning Guyana and Suriname next year – we’ll arrange it together with you!
