Tour Overview

Embark on a full-day adventure to the Quilotoa Lagoon, one of Ecuador’s most famous treks and a remarkable travel experience in the Andes. Begin by visiting the vibrant Saquisilí Market on Thursday or the Pujilí Market on Sunday, where colors, crafts, and traditions come to life. Continue through the Andes, admiring breathtaking views of the Cotopaxi Volcano and crossing the dramatic Toachi Canyon in the Zumbahua Valley. The landscapes along the way are as unforgettable as the lagoon itself, making this tour a scenic journey through Ecuador. At 3,800 meters above sea level, the viewpoint reveals the emerald-blue lagoon formed inside a volcanic caldera. Choose between hiking the rim that connects remote villages or descending 45 minutes to the crater’s shimmering waters. The trail immerses you in Andean nature, with unique plants and wildlife along the way. The return can be demanding, but mules are available for the uphill stretch, making the trip more accessible. After exploring and capturing incredible views, enjoy lunch overlooking the lagoon. With memories of this magical landscape, this Quilotoa Lagoon tour concludes as you return to Quito in the late afternoon.
