What To Expect

This full day cultural tour begins with a visit to local indigenous market at either Saquisilli (Thursdays only) or Pujili (Sundays only). The drive to Laguna Quilotoa – an amazing emerald lagoon inside a volcano crater at the height of approximatetly 3,800 m – displays a beautiful view of the Andean mountains, passing the ancient canyon of Zumbahua and many indigenous towns and farmlands.

Reviews
Great day trip with an awesome guide
ms_grish_, 19-12-2022
The added extra of the guide taking us to try the local fruits and food at the market was a nice suprise. The trip is well organised and a good day out - even though I struggled with the climb up - do not do this on your first coupe of days of landing - give yourself time to adjust to the altitude - this as my mistake.
Asome trip with great guides to such a Beautiful place

Such a great day trip, guids where asome spoke english both. They made also some nice pictures during the trip. Driver drove very safe and the tour was so great. They did a few stops and then you can hike to the lake in the vulcano and hike up again. After this you have a nice lunch. I really would recommend this trip! :)
Awesome tour with Jean-Pierre!

It was awesome! We booked the tour via Paul who was very kind and explained us a lot not only about the tour, but also about getting your way around Ecuador in general.
The tour itself was guided by Jean-Pierre, who was also very friendly and did a great job! He speaks good English and always looked out for us and showed us many interesting things even on top of the tour.
100% recommended!!!

Great tour to see Quilotoa!

It was such a nice tour! Great way to learn more about Ecuador, as the guide knew a lot and can tell you about whatever topic you want. We got to taste delicious fruits and dive into the local culture. Quilotoa itself is beautiful and definitely worth the hike!
Hike at Quilatoa Lake
KatharineV16, 21-02-2022
I cannot say enough about our tour guide and driver - they were such a great team (Miguel and Alejandro). They responded to every demand and need of all 11 guests on this tour, including stopping numerous times for us to take pictures along the way, helping a guest who was struggling on teh hike (going up and down the trail a couple of times to check in with everytone and it was a challenging trail), and stopping teh van several times on the way back to accommodate a guest who was ill. They handled all of these things with such patience and calm. We also appreciated the history and folklore thof teh area that Alejandro shared with us, as well as stopping at a local market to learn about fruits and other local fare. After the trip, Alejandro created a group chat in Whats App to share pictures. Overall, it was a great trip. Highly recommend.
