The Trefoil Trail - (3 days)
As on the one- and two-day-trips, we’ll be visiting the crater of Pululahua volcano, located right on the Equator, with its fascinating sceneries. 6-km diameter make it the biggest volcanic crater on the American continent, and it is also one of only two inhabited craters world-wide.
In three different loops, that all together will draw the shape of a trefoil leaf, we shall explore
The first day is marked by volcanic history and nature, interesting geological formations, mineral avalanches blooming with wild orchids and traditional Andean agriculture.
The second day leads us along deep gorges covered with cloud forest and invites us for a dive in a crystal clear volcanic stream.
On the third day, we’ll be riding through lush tropical vegetation, sugar cane, pineapples and bananas, gathering colourful crab-spiders at lunch-break, enjoying the sound of the crickets while viewing black vultures sailing above us. Riding along narrow mountain ridges, we shall also take a glance on the pre-Inca ruins of Portalanza.
Accommodation in comfortable country Inn in the mystical surroundings of the crater walls.
