Discover one of Ecuador’s hidden natural treasures as you travel from Quito to the Antisana Ecological Reserve, a breathtaking high-Andean landscape filled with wildlife and panoramic views. As you ascend, the scenery opens into vast páramo grasslands, home to unique flora and iconic species. At the peaceful La Mica Lagoon, enjoy easy walks surrounded by high-mountain vegetation and, if weather allows, stunning views of the impressive Antisana Volcano.
This pristine ecosystem is perfect for bird-watching, with opportunities to spot deer, foxes, caracaras and even several nesting sites of the Andean condor, one of the world’s most majestic birds. After exploring the reserve, enjoy a local lunch overlooking the silent, dramatic páramo before returning to Quito in the afternoon.
*A brief condor-watching stop at Peñón del Isco, a natural viewpoint ideal for observing this emblematic Andean species.
