Nice interesting day to Quilotoa Crater Lake - Quilotoa Crater Lake was very impressive. Walked about a third of the way down and had a picnic lunch. The hike all the way down and back up is a bit difficult, so not recommended for all. The other stops that personable guide Diego provided were also good and interesting.

Must do day trip from Quito - Diego is a fantastic guide. It was a well paced, well planned itinerary. Thanks to Diego we learned a lot and had an amazing, unique day. Also, he was early to pick us up, his car was clean and he is a great driver. Scenery and activities were spectacular.
