Be seduced by one of the most incredible landscapes of Ecuador: the Quilotoa lagoon. Enjoy a unique view of the volcanic caldera from the Shalala viewpoint!

Quilotoa Trip

We will pick you up at 2 am in Guayaquil and board a minibus to Quilotoa, in the province of Cotopaxi. This area showcases incredible natural beauty, shaped by its volcanic past. The caldera will leave you speechless!

Crossing the canyon of Toachi, we will arrive at one of the most impressive lakes of the Andes. The Quilotoa lagoon, about 2 miles in diameter, was formed by an eruption of an Andean volcano over eight centuries ago. Today, it stands as a natural jewel of Ecuador.

After enjoying views of the lagoon from several angles, we will head to the Shalala viewpoint for a stunning panorama. Remember to bring your camera! We will also discuss the geology of the area.

On the return journey, we will stop by the Toachi River to admire the view of the idyllic pine forest. We will then continue back to Guayaquil, arriving around 8 pm.
