Quilotoa Volcano and Indigenous Towns.

Quilotoa volcano is located in the west of the Ecuadorian Andes, its caldera with almost 3 km in diameter was formed 800 years ago after an eruption and subsequent collapse of the volcano. The caldera of the volcano is about 250 m deep, due to minerals and algae, the surface of the lagoon has greenish and bluish tones when sunlight reaches the water. In the Quilotoa you can perform various activities such as walking to the interior of the crater, horseback riding, hiking and kayaking.

Pick up at the hotel. We headed south through the avenue of the volcanoes, we made our first stop in the market of Pujilí. We continue until we reach Tigua where the local community makes masks in wood and paint paintings in sheepskins. We passed through the town of Zumbahua and reached the Crater del Quilotoa at 4, 000 meters above sea level. From here we start the journey towards the lagoon located at 3, 500 masl, here you can kayak. Then we returned riding on mules to the top. Later we visited the artisan market of Quilotoa. We return to Quito.
