Just imagine....

You jump on a plane and 9 hours later are in Quito, Ecuador, a land of contrasts you will never forget! A country divided by nature, yet solidly held together by a common cultural heritage; a country that offers a four-in-one deal: the awesome wealth of cultural and natural diversity; trekking through the Andes, swimming along a tropical coast, and exploring the mysteries of the jungle and the Galapagos Islands!

Over a 12 day period, you visit and explore three rich & very diverse ecosystems:

*  High Andes  *  Amazon Jungle  *  Tropical Coast

And, after the tour, on your own, you might consider the Galapagos Islands!

Along the way, we will sing our hearts out, and share with groups and communities that have never had the opportunity, or resources to invite or to be offered – what we do so well - the Spirit and Soul of Kulshan Chorus …  The adventure includes:

o      Performing in Quito’s Cathedral (International Heritage site pictured above)

o      Singing in an Andean Church, inside a Cave after a day exploring the famous indigenous Otovalo market & straddling the middle of the world (a foot in both N/S hemispheres)

o      Cultural and Musical Exchange with a Black community in the Andes before hiking around a series of active volcanoes (or sitting in thermal pools), and bird watching.

o      Musical adventures with indigenous communities in the Amazon combined with a jungle river adventure.

o      A concert in the costal town of Puerto Lopez with three days relaxing on the white sands of Salinas, snorkeling, hiking remote beaches, & watching grey whales mate.

o      IF that is not enough, we will have a music-cultural Exchange with the Tsachiula community and farm/home stay options along the way!

o      All this and more for $1495 plus airfare (currently $900 RT)……
