Day 2: Quito

After breakfast at the hotel, you will embark on a city tour of Quito, including a visit to the famous equator line. This full-day excursion (approximately 8 hours) will immerse you in the vibrant history and culture of Ecuador’s capital. As you explore Quito, you’ll be captivated by stunning panoramas, historic churches, and remarkable architecture. Founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city, Quito sits at an elevation of 2,800 meters. Despite a major earthquake in 1917, it boasts the best-preserved historic center in Latin America, showcasing a unique blend of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish, and Indigenous influences. Your journey begins with a relaxed 1.5-hour walking tour through the Old Town, where you’ll uncover the city’s rich past, starting from the original Quitu tribe that inhabited the area. You'll learn about Quito’s role as a capital in the Inca Empire and its later transformation into a Spanish colonial city. Key highlights include: • San Francisco Church, built by the Franciscans, which became a center of education and art • Plaza Grande, surrounded by iconic landmarks such as the Cathedral, Presidential Palace, and City Hall • The stunning Jesuit Church (La Compañía), renowned for its elaborately carved façade Next, enjoy breathtaking views of the city from El Panecillo Hill, crowned by the iconic Winged Virgin Mary statue overlooking the cityscape. Continuing your adventure, you'll head to the "Middle of the World", where two key attractions mark the equator: • Ciudad Mitad del Mundo: A tourist and cultural complex featuring the monument commemorating the 1736 French Geodesic Mission that identified the equator’s location. Although the monument is 240 meters south of the actual equator, it's still a major highlight. • Intiñan Museum: An interactive site where you can participate in experiments that reveal the unique physical effects at the equator. The museum also celebrates the heritage of ancient South American civilizations, showcasing traditional dwellings, totems, and artifacts from Indigenous communities. After a day full of discovery and awe-inspiring sights, you'll return to your hotel to reflect on the wonders of Quito. Meals: Breakfast

Along the way, you'll observe a dramatic change in landscapes—from the reddish, rocky terrain of the north to the lush greenery of the highlands.

Learn how private farms contribute to the conservation of these iconic species and their ecosystems.

Disembark on a rocky shoreline surrounded by a small forest of gray and silver palo santo trees, which remain mostly leafless throughout the year. North Seymour is famous for its vibrant bird colonies. Be mesmerized by male frigatebirds inflating their bright red throat pouches to attract females during the breeding season, and by the iconic blue-footed boobies. Watch as the males perform their elaborate mating dances, lifting one wing and proudly showing off their vivid blue feet. The adventure continues along the beach, where seagulls, sea lions, marine iguanas, and pelicans nest on nearby rocks—offering plenty of close-up wildlife encounters. A freshly prepared lunch will be served aboard the yacht. In the afternoon, head to the Bachas Beaches on the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island. First, explore the lagoon behind the beach, often visited by flamingos. Then, enjoy a refreshing swim and snorkeling session at this pristine, uninhabited white-sand beach with turquoise waters. Look out for sea lions, rays, sea turtles, and brightly colored tropical fish during your underwater adventure! Return to Puerto Ayora is expected around 4:00 PM, giving you free time to stroll along the dock, shop for souvenirs, or simply enjoy a beautiful sunset. Plaza Island Begin your day by departing the hotel and heading north toward the Itabaca Channel. Board a yacht and sail to South Plaza Island, one of the smallest islands in the archipelago. After approximately 1.5 hours, you’ll be greeted by a vibrant red-and-green carpet of Sesuvium, an endemic plant that blankets the island, accompanied by the playful barking of sea lions that call this place home. The turquoise waters blend beautifully with the white sandy beaches and volcanic formations. Your walk on the island will be easy and relaxed, taking you past playful sea lions and land iguanas. Reach the island’s highest cliff for breathtaking views where you might see swallow-tailed gulls soaring overhead and solitary male sea lions retreating after battling for harems. Tropical birds such as frigatebirds, blue-footed boobies, and tropicbirds can also be seen gliding through the air—bring binoculars to fully appreciate this extraordinary wildlife! After your island walk, head to Carrion Point, where a delicious lunch will be served onboard. This area is perfect for snorkeling and swimming, offering encounters with rays, reef sharks, and a variety of colorful tropical fish.

Between June and September, Ecuador's Pacific coast becomes a prime destination for whale watching. Humpback whales travel approximately 7,000 miles each year from Antarctica, near the South Pole, to the warm waters off the coast of Ecuador to mate and give birth. These waters offer a safer environment for their newborns and a vital opportunity for survival in warmer seas.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Comfortable clothing, athletic shoes, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. During the tour, all safety protocols provided by the instructors must be followed.

REVIEW №2- Chubar

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 №3- 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 №4- Nikita, Saga Tour Operator

Good afternoon, Alexandra!
Thank you very much for the organization and support.

Thank you!
Wishing you success in everything!

REVIEW №6- 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 №7- Elena and Evgeny

REVIEW №23- 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.

Good afternoon, Alexandra.
I want to thank you for organizing our vacation.
Our guides were simply outstanding – top class.
Pavel knows so much about Brazil and Rio in particular. He’s very easy to talk to, communicates effortlessly with people, is always learning something new, and gladly shares his knowledge. An excellent guide and a wonderful person.
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!!!

REVIEW №26- Tatyana Yakubova

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!

Sincerely,
General Director

REVIEW №28- 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!

Yesterday the clients really enjoyed everything! They thank you for the organization and would like us to go over their itinerary to make sure that, wherever there are stops, we book them a guide and transport for private excursions.

Good afternoon, Anna!
Our tourists, the Lytkos, have returned from Peru.
Many thanks to you for your work! They are very satisfied, despite having come down with the flu during the trip.
They spoke very warmly about all the guides and about the local partner company as a whole.
Thank you once again!
We will be happy to send you tourists for other itineraries as well.

Wishing you a good day!

REVIEW №35- Evgeniya Bykasova

The tourists have returned from our Argentina–Brazil tour, and they are thrilled! Everything went perfectly – all excursions, flights, and transfers were well-organized and on time.
During the 25 days, there were no difficulties or unexpected situations. They really enjoyed the itinerary, and in Búzios the weather was warm, so they swam a lot and soaked up the sun.
A huge thank you for your help in organizing such a complex tour and for your prompt responses to every detail! Thanks also to the local partner company for their excellent work!
