Quilotoa Loop Tour

Pick up at the lodge 

The Quilotoa Loop Tour will start with the pick up at our hotel at 9:00 A.M. We will board our private transportation and travel 1 hour and a half until we reach Sigchos, seeing the mountainous landscapes of the place.

Hike to Isinlivi

Once we arrive, we will begin a downhill hike to 2,650 meters above sea level to head to another village, known as Isinlivi. Here we will have the opportunity to enjoy the views of the snow-capped peaks of the Ilinizas. We will also see the beautiful corn fields and other crops, highlighting the purple lupine flowers whose seeds are edible and have a high protein content. We will then have dinner and spend the night at the hostel or lodge, depending on the version you select when booking the tour.

Beginning of the hike

After breakfast, we will begin our second day's hike. We will descend to the canyon of the Toachi River, enjoying the incredible views it offers and experiencing the rural life of the Andes.

Chugchilan

We will continue walking and ascend again to 3,000 meters above sea level to reach the road where we will continue walking until we reach the village of Chugchilan. If you select the standard version, you will sleep in a small hostel with a nice garden; if you select the premium version, you will sleep in a lodge.

Quilotoa Lagoon

Today, one of the most impressive places of this tour awaits us: the Quilotoa Lagoon, considered one of the most beautiful lagoons in the world. After a 6-hour hike, we will arrive at the crater located at 3,900 meters above sea level. Take the opportunity to enjoy these views and the changing colors of the lagoon water.

Return to Latacunga

After lunch, we will resume the hike until we reach Quilotoa, where a transfer will pick us up to return to Latacunga and put an end to these 3 days in the Quilotoa Loop Tour.
