Quilotoa Lagoon Day Trip

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Riobamba and set off for the Quilotoa Lagoon.

On the way, we'll stop in the village of Zumbahua in the Ecuadorian Andes. Here, we'll see the canyon of the Toachi River, created by the flows of the Quilotoa Volcano. We'll also stop in Tigua to see the masks made by the local Indigenous communities.

Afterwards, we'll travel to the Quilotoa Lagoon, a lake with a diameter of 8 miles (13 kilometres) located inside a crater, formed 800 years ago when the volcanic cone collapsed.

We'll head to the edge of the caldera and start a 1-hour kayak tour through the Quilotoa Lagoon's multicoloured water. During our visit, we might spot some deer or rabbits among the Andean flora.

Next, we'll proceed to the village of Quilotoa for a traditional lunch featuring corn and beans. After lunch, you'll have 1 hour of free time to explore local craftsmanship.

Finally, we'll return you to Riobamba, where you will be dropped off at your hotel at 7 pm.
