Our first stop is in one of the most folkloric markets existing in the Sierra, Saquisili market (if our trip is Thursday or Zumbahua market Saturdays). I fact, Those are authentic real markets where you can see animal markets, a variety of colorful roses, Andean fruits, etc. During our journey to the Quilotoa volcano, the next stop is in the Tigua community with an altitude of 4,000msnm. (13.100ft) in the road. This community stands out for its Andean legends surround paints and artists captured images of the beautiful mountainous landscape.

Once we get to the Quilotoa Community, right here begins our QUILOTOA ADVENTURE. We will take a time for preparing our stuff to start our Private Quilotoa Hiking Day Tour around the andes mountains.
QUILOTOA HIKING Option 1. A Descending hike from 3900msnm to 3500msnm to the base of the lagoon. The path is steep and some volcanic material (gravel) is right here. There are some other activities (optional) such as kayaking, boat ride. Our ascent will demand an extra physical effort, but have the option to rent a mule to make this trip more enjoyable. Better hike of course!
QUILOTOA HIKING Option 2. We will hike around the Quilotoa loop. It takes around 5 hours 9km. The most beautiful views from this path with a different perspective make more enjoyable this Hike to the Quilotoa Loop. If you decide to take this Hike to Quilotoa Loop, we need to take away some activities above described.
