  • Tigua - We will visit Segundo Toaquisa’s nahive Tigua’s art workshop; a really special place with a beautiful history of learning art as a way of economy and heritage for this town.
  • Quilotoa - Where we will enjoy one of the most beautiful lakes in Ecuador, form that surrounds a volcanic crater and esmerald coloured water, we can walk around and walk half way down to where the water is; the way back up is quite demanding and sandy (6000 ft).

Quilatao Lagoon with Daniel - Highly recommend this tour!! Daniel was prompt and on time to pick me up. On the way to Quilatao Lagoon, there are a lot of stray dogs that get dumped there and just sit on the side of the highway. We went to the local bakery and bought food for them. It was heartbreaking to see those dogs! But glad we got to feed a lot of them! The tour to Quilatoa was informative and Daniel had such a passion for Ecuador, culture and history! We had a couple of scenic stops before making it to the lagoon! We tried the Canelazo and Salcedo Ice Cream! Delicious! The scenery was spectacular!! Highly recommend Daniel and his tour!!
