Ecuador is a country that straddles the equator on the west coast of South America. Its diverse landscapes include the Amazon jungle, the Andean highlands and the Galapagos Islands with abundant fauna. On the slopes of the Andes, at an elevation of 2,850 m, Quito, its capital, is famous for its long-untouched Spanish colonial center, with ornate 16th and 17th-century palaces and religious sites, such as the ornate Church of the Company of Jesus. Peru Expeditions is thrilled to be offering the Ring of Fire Ski Expedition. Our high altitude guides are also big mountain ski mountaineers. The combination of their expertise and high-end logistics that have been a priority of Peru Expeditions for over a decade, has us uniquely positioned as the first guide service to offer international, high altitude ski expeditions. We created this program as a perfect segue for backcountry skiers looking to gain the skills that will enable them to ski higher and more technical mountains.

Step off the typical tourist trail and discover the real Quito through its vibrant local food scene. This small-group food crawl takes you beyond the standard hotel bubble and into authentic Andean neighborhoods where quiteños actually eat. You’ll visit a curated mix of traditional huecas and cozy local spots, tasting classic dishes and regional drinks along the way. Along the way, your local guide shares stories, traditions, and cultural insights you won’t get on a typical sightseeing tour. The experience flows seamlessly from savory street bites to traditional comfort food and a lively final stop, making it as much about connection as it is about flavor. Expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, generous tastings, and the chance to share a table with fellow travelers. If you’re looking to experience Quito in an authentic, social, and memorable way, this is it.
