Ancestral Journey
August 9 to 16, 2025
8 days – 7 nights
Ecuador is a country that captures you from its natural and cultural richness. Sailing through the mountains and living among the warm alpaca and wool fabrics are the greatest reasons to create a route full of warmth, wisdom and great experiences.
In this space we will be guided by the great Taitas of the Ecuadorian mountains, learning from the hand of their children the artisans and reconnecting with the natural wisdom.
