Full-Day Quilotoa Lagoon: Tigua Community and Lunch

Discover the spectacular beauty of Quilotoa on a full day journey through the Ecuadorian Andes. Travel across scenic mountain landscapes while passing traditional Indigenous villages and colorful local markets that showcase the culture and daily life of the region. Upon arrival at the famous Quilotoa viewpoint, admire breathtaking panoramas of the striking turquoise crater lake surrounded by dramatic volcanic scenery.

Enjoy free time to capture photographs and explore the area at your own pace. Adventurous visitors may choose to hike down toward the lagoon, following trails that reveal stunning Andean views along the way. The ascent back to the rim can be demanding because of the altitude, with optional mule assistance available through local community members. The experience also includes a visit to a Tigua Painting Workshop, where you can create your own artwork under the guidance of a local artisan and discover the unique artistic traditions of the region.
