Quilotoa Full Day Adventure

Quilotoa Full-Day Adventure Description

This full-day cultural trip begins with a visit to a local indigenous market, Saquisili (Thursdays) or Pujili (Sundays). The drive to Quilotoa Lagoon – an amazing emerald lagoon inside a volcano crater at the height of 3,800m (12,467 ft) – displays beautiful views of the Andean mountains, passing the ancient canyon of Zumbahua and many indigenous towns and farmlands.

Before lunch, we will visit a local aboriginal home where you have the opportunity to interact with the inhabitants.

The tour includes a steep hike down to the lagoons shore. For the way back up to the starting point you can rent a mule.

You must be well prepared for 3,800m (12,467 ft), so we recommend acclimatizing at least one day around 3,000m. The weather in the area of Laguna is unpredictable so please bring warm and waterproof clothing.
