点评:During our stay in Quito we did a one-day tour to Otavalo. It was wonderful and our guide, Angel, was in one word ‘Amazing!’ The three principal reasons for this qualification were his fluency in the English language that made communication easy, his in depth knowledge on a wide variety of topics, and last but not least he is really flexible, patient and friendly. For our tour we had a program that included tasting fruits and specialties, a visit to a weaving shop, walking across the famous market in Otavalo, and a hike in the area around the Peguche waterfalls. In each of the activities he adjusted the allotted time to our interests—for instance our tour’s emphasis was adjusted around our main interest of weaving and wildlife around the waterfall, and less time was spent on food and the market visit. His knowledge about history of the area, plant and animal wildlife, local traditions, and local geography is enormous—he uses it to answer questions, and he volunteers a lot of it during the tour as well.
In sum, we had an unforgettable and wonderful full-day adventure and we can totally recommend this experience!

翻译:在基多逗留期间,我们参加了一次前往奥塔瓦洛的一日游。这次旅行棒极了!我们的导游安赫尔用一句话来形容就是‘出色至极!’他能获得如此评价主要有三个原因:一是他流利的英语水平让交流变得轻松自如;二是他对各类话题都有着深入的了解;最后也是很重要的一点,就是他非常灵活变通、耐心且友善。我们的行程安排包括品尝各种水果和特色美食,还参观了纺织作坊。漫步于奥塔瓦洛著名的集市,还徒步游览了佩古切瀑布周边地区。在每项活动中,他都会根据我们的兴趣来调整安排的时间——比如,由于我们最感兴趣的是编织工艺以及瀑布周围的野生动植物,他便相应地调整了行程重点;而关于美食和集市参观的部分则安排得较少。他对当地历史、动植物种类、传统习俗以及地理情况都了如指掌——并善于运用这些知识来解答我们的疑问。在游览过程中,他也主动分享了很多相关内容。
总之,我们度过了难忘而美好的一整天冒险之旅,我们绝对推荐这种体验!
