Discover one of Ecuador’s most breathtaking natural wonders on a full-day adventure from Quito.

Arrive at the stunning Quilotoa viewpoint and take in unforgettable panoramas of its turquoise crater lake. Enjoy free time for photos and, if you wish, hike down to the lagoon’s edge along a trail filled with dramatic Andean scenery. The return ascent is challenging due to the altitude, but you can choose to rent a mule from local community members for an easier ride. This journey offers an exceptional blend of majestic landscapes, cultural encounters, and natural beauty.
