Itinerary
Day 1: Avenue of the Volcanoes - Antisana Reserve
Stop At: Antisana Ecological Reserve, Ecuador
Antisana is located two hours away from Quito. Stop for an overview of the impressive lava flow at Antisanilla, next onto admire an incredibly huge wall of cliffs across the narrow canyon, where condors can be seen soaring up near the highest peaks. Several stops are made in the paramo to walk about the level ground and observe the beautiful but small paramo flowers hugging the ground among the lichens and paramo straw: yellow composites, gentians, red Indian paintbrush, orchids, and chuquiraguas.
