Full-Day Quilotoa Crater Lake Andean Culture Nature Gentle Hike

Our Quilotoa Day Tour starts from Quito at 07.30 am. Our first stop is one of the most folkloric markets. Saquisili market (if our trip is Thursday or Zumbahua market Saturday). In fact, authentic markets with variety of colorful roses, Andean fruits, Handicrafts and more. Anyway, If we are not travelling on these days, we can stop in Maca community to see Julián's family. A beautiful indigenous family want to share part of their culture with us. The next stop is Tigua community. This community stands out for its Andean legends surround paints and artists captured images of the mountainous landscape. A brief stop in Toachi Canyon. A geological fault caused by the Volcanoes eruptions. Once we get to Quilotoa Community begins our hike into the Crater. A Descending hike from 3900msnm to 3500msnm to the base of the lake. The path is steep and some volcanic material (gravel). There are some other activities (optional) like kayaking, boat ride. Our ascent will demand an extra physical effort, but have the option to rent a mule to make this hike up more enjoyable. Better hike of course! Lunch time. Shopping in the community galleries and finally we go back to Quito at 18:30 pm.
