- Canon del Rio Toachi - This stunning canyon is a popular tourist destination due to its scenic beauty, unique geological formations, and the opportunity for various outdoor activities.
-
Sendero al Fondo del Crater - One of the most popular activities in Quilotoa is walking around the crater. There is an approximately 9 kilometer trail that takes you to the edge of the crater and allows you to enjoy impressive panoramic views. The hike can be challenging due to the altitude, but it is a rewarding experience.
If you want to experience the lagoon in a unique way, you can rent kayaks or take boat rides to explore its waters from a different perspective.

Good solo - The experience was amazing. The drive itself from quito was cool and stopping to learn about the indigenous cultures and grabbing breakfast was a nice touch. Having lunch after quilotoa was nice.

A wonderful and beautiful experience in Ecuador 🇪🇨💚 - It fills me with great pride to arrive at beautiful places, where after you visit you feel more alive, more grateful, much more to the expectation that you can go to know many other places more, try new flavors and take a little Quito in the heart ❤️.
A Colombian happy to have been in these beautiful lands, certainly a sight.
Thanks for the experience.
