Highlights
- Laguna Quilotoa - This impressive lagoon was formed in the crater of an inactive volcano and is one of the most beautiful and visited places in the country. On the tour, you will be able to observe the bottom of the lagoon from the viewpoint.
We descend to the lagoon, where you can rent a kayak for a tour around the lagoon (not included in the tour).
After the ascent we have lunch and return to Quito
- Canon del Rio Toachi - This stunning canyon is a popular tourist destination due to its scenic beauty, unique geological formations, and the opportunity for various outdoor activities.
-
Sendero al Fondo del Crater - One of the most popular activities in Quilotoa is walking around the crater. There is an approximately 9 kilometer trail that takes you to the edge of the crater and allows you to enjoy impressive panoramic views. The hike can be challenging due to the altitude, but it is a rewarding experience.
If you want to experience the lagoon in a unique way, you can rent kayaks or take boat rides to explore its waters from a different perspective.

Quilotoa - This tour seemed to me something incredible never before I have seen such beautiful breaks in any country, they have a beautiful country everywhere you go there are things that do not stop astonishing us, as for the staff the driver was very friendly helpful helped me when I had doubts the photographer David again surprises me with his kindness and service that has a super friendly person an amazing human being a great photographer always took pictures where one asked him without any objection really amazing. As for my Guide of that day Joselo I must mention that he lacked a little more humility well I would say that a lot of humility is not kind is not helpful I do not pay attention to my doubts or questions I had a health problem so much so he did not realize where I was they went on the tour and only the photographer realized that I was not, really is a very basic person that you find in any tour company anywhere in the world. I recommend the tour to 100 but not the Guide at least that was my experience. Pure life greetings

David knows his Facts my Friend - We had a great time on our trip to the lake. David had tons of facts and he answered all of our questions and gave us extra details. He even pulled over to allow additional pics and the local home and lama visit was an extra treat. Great trip and a true value for the money. Thanks David.

Amazing Lagoon - Definitely worth booking with this company. They were very punctual to pick us up. David was our tour guide and not only provided us with great information, he even bought us a small snack and bananas before we arrived at our destination. Quilotoa is a mazing site, it was sunny and we did kayak inside of the volcano. Lunch was almost the best part! After a tough but rewarding hike up to the ridge, we had a delicious lunch! We got back late, but it was all worth it. You won't regret it.

Wonderful views - The descent is easy if you are not in good physical condition, do not go down the entire route, the climb for those of us who do not exercise much is heavy, the wonderful views, a magical place with a beautiful vibe. Guide, driver and photographer, good, thank you for everything

Good excursion to Quilotoa - They picked us from-to our hotel near airport. The tour started in the city. The Quilotoa is far from the city, so there were several good stops between. We visited a nice indian village and had a photo stop looking a big canyon. Also some coffee stops, good!
The Quilotoa itself was amazing! There were also possible to buy indian products! It was a nice place!
When coming back, we had a free lunch. There was included a suo, main food and a dessert and a drink. The main You could chooze from fish, meat or chicken. All were very delicious!
I’ll recommend their excursions

Quilotoa March 31. - Hello. Widely recommended, from the person in charge of booking, the driver and the guide Dave Sánchez, whom I want to recognize as a great guide, an empathetic person and knowledgeable on the subject. Thank you very much, few tours include experiences like this.
