Overview
Discover one of Ecuador’s most breathtaking natural wonders on a full-day adventure from Quito. Travel through the heart of the Andes, passing indigenous villages and colorful local markets that reveal the authentic rhythm of rural mountain life. Arrive at the stunning Quilotoa viewpoint and take in unforgettable panoramas of its turquoise crater lake. Enjoy free time for photos and, if you wish, hike down to the lagoon’s edge along a trail filled with dramatic Andean scenery. The return ascent is challenging due to the altitude, but you can choose to rent a mule from local community members for an easier ride. This journey offers an exceptional blend of majestic landscapes, cultural encounters, and natural beauty.
*Tigua Painting Workshop: Experience an authentic cultural activity by creating your own artwork guided by a local artisan, inspired by the famous naïve art of Tigua.
