A tour to the Quilotoa Crater Lake is a must if you are visiting Ecuador. It´s a perfect day, where you can explore the beautiful Andes region. On the way to Quilotoa you will be able to take in the sights of the Avenue of Volcanoes including the Cotopaxi. Before going up to Quilotoa we will first stop and visit a traditional indigenous market, then we will make a stop at the town of Tigua renowned for its unique art style and handcrafted wooden masks of endemic wildlife and local legends, you will also have a chance to take a picture with a llama and traditional Andean homes at the Toachi Canyon. Once you arrive at Quilotoa you will have time to take in the amazing sights, trek down to the lake bottom, kayak on the lake and come back up riding a mule or horse. We will have lunch in town and head back to Quito before the fog comes down. Truly a fun packed day with tons of culture, art, landscapes and outdoor activities.

Tigua

The town of Tigua is also famous for its hand crafted wooden masks. I love making a quick stop at a workshop where you can see how these masks are made and you have a choice of multicolored masks representing local animals and legends. Among these you´ll find, an andean fox, amazon monkey, wolf, rooster, Diablo Huma, and many more. Its a great stop for souvenirs.

  • Nice interesting day to Quilotoa Crater Lake

    Quilotoa Crater Lake was very impressive. Walked about a third of the way down and had a picnic lunch. The hike all the way down and back up is a bit difficult, so not recommended for all. The other stops that personable guide Diego provided were also good and interesting.

  • Must do day trip from Quito

    Diego is a fantastic guide. It was a well paced, well planned itinerary. Thanks to Diego we learned a lot and had an amazing, unique day. Also, he was early to pick us up, his car was clean and he is a great driver. Scenery and activities were spectacular.
