Adventure at Quilotoa Lagoon

We will start picking up all the participants from their location (in case that is farther from the city we will find a meeting point). Our trip will take at least 3.5 hours from Quito to the Quilotoa community, we can stop to have breakfast (in case you couldn't make it before we meet) and then continue our trip. On the way, we will see some places and towns until we arrive at the principal indigenous village of Zumbahua, where while we walk around we will see the traditional indigenous market (only on Saturday).
Continuing our trip to the Lagoon, once we arrive we prepare all our staff to start our hike, there will be 3 options that you can choose once you see the landscape:
1. Hike surrounding the crater of the volcano (4 to 5 hours)
2. Hike on the regular path and visit the tourist spot (boats, kayaks) (2.5 to 3.5 hours)
3. Hike a non-visited path and surround a little part of the lagoon to take the regular path. (2 to 3 hours)
When we come back to the start point we will look for a place to have lunch (there are some options) and our trip to Quito will start again.
Other things to note
- This trip has a least 3.5 hours per way traveling from and to Quito.
- There is the possibility to visit a gallery of a family of indigenous painters of the area.
- Be prepared with warm clothes, this place is cold and windy, some days rain.
