Admire the magnificent landscape that inspired Frederic Edwin Church's
epic paintings of the Andes...
During an overland excursion along the "Avenue of the Volcanoes", from Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano on earth, to Antisana, you will admire the magnificent landscape that inspired Frederic Edwin Church's epic paintings of the Andes. Soak in the hot springs of Papallacta, "barter with the natives" in the mystical Otavalo Valley, visit authentic workshops in artisans' pueblos and recapture the spirit of old Spanish days while staying in historic haciendas, such as Zuleta, established in 1691, and San Agustín de Callo, the 15th century Inca palace from which Atahualpa ruled the Kingdom of Quito, now called Ecuador. As an Inka's client you will sleep in one of the Inca rooms. Who knows -- maybe even Atahualpa's!
Arriving back in Quito, founded in 1534, walk along the cobblestone streets through centuries-old parks and plazas to churches filled with gold. Contemplate Gothic, baroque, Moorish and neo-classical art, all blended with the mestizo sentiment, and imagine you've gone back in time to the astonishing colonial world.

Ensuring that travelers always feel like treasured guests, Inka's Empire Tours takes its hospitality one step further. This singular company invites you to make yourself at home in the Historic Haciendas of the Andes. Amid the epic landscapes near Quito in northern Ecuador, relive the elegant style of Spanish colonial aristocracy in the country's most enchanting traditional manor houses, one of which was an Inca palace in the 15th century.
Your private journey begins at the two-hundred-year-old Hacienda La Carriona, where the stone courtyard and garden hint at its past splendor. In the days to follow, enjoy the opportunity to hike in the moorlands surrounding the Cotopaxi and Antisana volcanoes, soak in the Papallacta Hot Springs and ride a horse in the rolling hills of the Otavalo Valley. Along the way, recapture the spirit of old Spanish days in other gracious haciendas, including Zuleta, a working ranch with four centuries of history.
Make yourself at home, Spanish colonial style, on this evocative 6-night escape.

Combines creature comforts with incredible wildlife...
The Amazon Basin is famous for its wildlife, but not for its creature comforts. With the Napo Wildlife Center, you get the best of both worlds. Here, you can see thousands of parrots at the two, nearby parrot clay licks, Giant Otters in the lake and streams, 11 species of monkeys in the trees and over 550 species of birds in the forest. When your day is done, you can take a hot shower, sit on your private porch overlooking the lake, have a cold beer from the bar and enjoy a healthy international dinner. This is the jungle in style.
From start to finish, the Napo Wildlife Center combines creature comforts with incredible wildlife. Bilingual guides explain the intricacies of the rainforest while the staff works to make your stay the trip of a lifetime. And why wouldn't they? They are not only your staff but also major stockholders of the lodge! In addition to being the best wildlife lodge in the Amazon of Ecuador, the Napo Wildlife Center also conserves 82 square miles of pristine rainforest in its private reserve, based on a conservation partnership with the local community.

From Quito, take a flight to the Galapagos, where you will board a classic yacht and sail to Bartolome Island, where volcanic formations create a moonlike landscape you will never forget. As the days progress, have the rare opportunity of snorkeling among Galapagos penguins, marine tortoises, white-tipped sharks and octopuses. A visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island will greatly enhance your understanding of this extraordinary archipelago. Staffed with international scientists, this exciting destination illuminates the theory of the origin of species.
