We depart from Quito early in the morning. Pick up at your hotel.
Along the way we will admire the impressive volcanos crossing the Andes through the Pan-American Highway in what is known as the avenue of the volcanoes. We will leave the main road taking a smaller one that will lead us to Quilotoa Crater Lake. During this ride we will admire the most beautiful Andean landscapes full of colors and indigenous people living in the area. Depending on the day of departure we will stop at one of the traditional indigenous markets in Saquisili or Zumbahua that are open once a week and where the locals from the area congregate to sell their products and animals. Another stop is at the canyons before we continue to Tigua village and their famous painters who have achieved a prestigious name for painting indigenous traditions and Andean landscapes on goatskin.
Quilotoa is our final destination where it will be possible to hike part of the edge of the crater or do the hike down to the lake (this hike is demanding but there is the possibility of hiring a mule for the return climb given previous reservation and payment)
Lunch is at one of the locally owned restaurants. After lunch return to Quito.
