  • Great experience but difficult hike

    I really enjoyed the experience at Quilotoa Lagoon! My friend and I went to Ecuador for our Spring break and would definitely recommend this experience. I will say the the hike is pretty difficult, and I was only 1 of 3 group members who made it down and back up by walking. Everyone else either turned around or had to get a horse. The horses also seemed very tired and did not seem to want to continue taking people down and up. I would do this if you have good stamina as the altitude and incline make the trek difficult! The views are just as good at the top as they are at the bottom to be honest. Our guide Anthony was great and very knowledgeable! It was great how he was able to switch between Spanish and English after every sentence.

    I had a great time, our guide David was very organized, knowledgeable and fun. We got interesting insights in the culture of the indigenous andean communities and got to see the amazing Quilotoa crater. Would recommend!

    We took this one day tour the next day we came back from the Galapagos. We had a firm filled and fulfilling day. The itinerary is exceptional with visits to the indigenous people’s market and their traditional habitat. The lagoon is breathtaking. Our guide, Anthony was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when we were walking down a very slippery slope down to the lagoon. Highly recommended touring operator.

    It fills me with great pride to arrive at beautiful places, where after you visit you feel more alive, more grateful, much more to the expectation that you can go to know many other places more, try new flavors and take a little Quito in the heart ❤️. A Colombian happy to have been in these beautiful lands, certainly a sight. Thanks for the experience.

    The experience was amazing. The drive itself from quito was cool and stopping to learn about the indigenous cultures and grabbing breakfast was a nice touch. Having lunch after quilotoa was nice.
