What's included in the package

Itinerary

Laguna Quilotoa

Duration: 120 Minutes

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

Admission Ticket Included

Canon del Rio Toachi

Duration: 30 Minutes

This stunning canyon is a popular tourist destination due to its scenic beauty, unique geological formations, and the opportunity for various outdoor activities.

Admission Ticket Not Included

Sendero al Fondo del Crater

Duration: 60 Minutes

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.

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.
