About the trip…
October 18 – 23, 2027
Join us to learn about the rich Catholic history of Ecuador! We will explore the capital, Quito, including the famous baroque Golden Church, the monumental neo-Gothic Basílica del Voto Nacional, and of course, the church containing the statue of Our Lady of Good Success, which is possibly the most famous South American devotion! The visit also includes day trips to the Andean countryside around Otavalo and San Pablo Lake region, all while staying in Quito near its historic city center!
Journey alongside fellow Catholics, accompanied by Fr. Tobias Bayer who will give daily spiritual talks and provide us with Mass and Confession. Each day will consist of religious excursions and individual free time, and concludes with a community meal and spiritual conference. Make an unforgettable pilgrimage with IHS Events!
What a guest said about a previous trip:
The IHS Italy trip was an extraordinary experience for our family. Traveling internationally for the first time with children of various ages could have been overwhelming, but every detail was handled with care, expertise, and purpose.The itinerary was intense and thorough in the best possible way, with full days thoughtfully planned to ensure we made the most of every moment. We experienced far more than we ever could have discovered on our own or found in a guidebook. The depth of knowledge shared throughout the trip brought each site, city, and sacred place to life in a meaningful and memorable way. Having Father with us throughout the pilgrimage, along with daily Holy Mass and conferences, added a deeply spiritual dimension to the entire experience. Ultimately, these moments of prayer, instruction, and reflection made the trip far more than sightseeing and helped unite our family more fully in the Faith. What stood out most was the balance IHS Events maintained. The team was attentive and responsive to the group’s needs and interests while still providing the consistent structure necessary to maximize our time. This was not simply a group of facilitators moving us from place to place. They taught, explained, and provided context that deepened the entire experience. This trip was truly transformative for our family, both spiritually and culturally, and we are deeply grateful to IHS Events for making it possible.
