Really wonderful place! We saw at least 12 of the Andean condor. I was so intrigued looking in my binoculars I didn't get any pics! It's a beautiful drive there. We stopped at a hacienda for hot chocolate too. I've attached a few pics

My parents and I have just returned from an amazing day tour to Antisana with Luis as our guide. As it was raining heavily in Quito, we had doubts that the tour would be worth it but Luis assured us otherwise. He was right to...More

I visited many reserves in Ecuador and this one is the finest in every possible way. Great views of mountains, lakes, glaciers and a rugged ride to the base camp. The climb was great. Getting into the reserve needs two kinds of permits from the...More
