- 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.

Enjoyable day trip to Quilotoa - Very enjoyable day trip to Quilotoa, including an interesting visit to an indigenous family. Victor was an excellent guide for the day, and Patricio's driving was reliable in some torrential rain on the way back.
Victor gave us the options of what to do at Quilotoa very clearly. We chose walking on the rim trail as the best option for us.
Lunch was included, provided at a restaurant near Quilotoa, and the food was good, with the vegetarian version being very good.
There was also a stop at a fairly impressive canyon, where we had the choice to pay $1 each to enter for slightly better views.
Perhaps the only minor negative is that the description on Viator said that entrance to Quilotoa is included. In fact we had to pay, but it's only $2 per person.
It is a long drive from Quito, so be prepared for a long day out. But the crater at Quilotoa is a spectacular sight, and worth it.

Historic Quito private walking tour was an amazing and fun experience! - Ecosportour recommended Steffi for a walking tour in historic part of Quito. I didn’t realize it would be a private tour. It was an amazing experience. So warm and she loved sharing the highlights of the rich history. I highly recommend Steffi!

Highly recommended excursion - Thanks to our guide David everything went well, despite the delay to eat. That delay was due to the fact that many went down to the lagoon and could not walk up, had to order horses and there were not enough for everyone. David announced it and said it several times, the climb is treacherous for the height, you need to be in GOOD physical condition, but in the end the rest of the tour went very well!
Greetings from Spain and thank you very much!

Very nice experience to know the Quilotoa. - The visit was great, the tours were very well planned to be able to know a bit of each place.
Our Guide David is very attentive and always explained several details about the places we visited so we could learn a little more about the customs and culture of Ecuador.

Quilotoa - This tour seemed to me something incredible never before I have seen such beautiful breaks in any country, they have a beautiful country everywhere you go there are things that do not stop astonishing us, as for the staff the driver was very friendly helpful helped me when I had doubts the photographer David again surprises me with his kindness and service that has a super friendly person an amazing human being a great photographer always took pictures where one asked him without any objection really amazing. As for my Guide of that day Joselo I must mention that he lacked a little more humility well I would say that a lot of humility is not kind is not helpful I do not pay attention to my doubts or questions I had a health problem so much so he did not realize where I was they went on the tour and only the photographer realized that I was not, really is a very basic person that you find in any tour company anywhere in the world. I recommend the tour to 100 but not the Guide at least that was my experience. Pure life greetings

David knows his Facts my Friend - We had a great time on our trip to the lake. David had tons of facts and he answered all of our questions and gave us extra details. He even pulled over to allow additional pics and the local home and lama visit was an extra treat. Great trip and a true value for the money. Thanks David.
