Quilotoa Hike

5.00Quilotoa was as beautiful as the pictures. The hike was difficult but doable. Spending time with locals in the Andes was memorable, specifically holding their guinea pics and seeing Julian’s potato’s. We especially loved Irene! She was knowledgeable, funny, and created an engaging environment

5.00Excellent tour, super recommended. Irene was our guide and is a very responsible and dedicated person. She was always attentive to the needs of the group and shared excellently all her knowledge in English and Spanish. Very happy with the agency and with the guide, the place is simply spectacular, there are no words to describe it. Super recommended

5.00Easy going, fun, friendly tour guide and people along the way. The short visit to the locals in the hill was great along the way. The lake itself is beautiful with great weather. The water was blue and scenic. Was able to even rent a kayak into the water as well as ride the donkey back up if you’re not feeling the hike back up. Irene the tour guide was informative and helpful throughout the journey. She is enthusiastic and patient the whole way. She has good tips and advice along the trip including food places and reasonable prices. Andres the driver was professional and very good on the road. Was able to nap most of the way there and back.
The best experience and guide top

5.00I was on the quilotoa day tour yesterday. We were a small grpup of four as well as our tour guide Irene and driver patricia. The transport was comfortable and the right size for.our group and the driving felt very safe. Irene was absolutely fantastic, she was wsrm and friendly.and her english was absolutely perfect. She kept us entertained all day with interestimg facts and stories about the area and was clearly very passionate about her country and its history. She was also very flexible in her approach and went the extra mile.to help individual members of thr group as needed. If you are thinking of booking this tour i would say absolutely do it and i gope that you are ucky enough to get Irene as your tour guide 😀
