Full-Day Quilotoa Lagoon: Viewpoint & Tigua Community

Embark on a memorable full day adventure from Quito into the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes. Travel through traditional Indigenous villages and colorful local markets where you can experience the customs and daily life of Andean communities. As the journey continues, arrive at the spectacular Quilotoa viewpoint and admire breathtaking panoramas of the turquoise crater lake surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Enjoy time to explore the area and hike down toward the lakeshore, where stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings create an unforgettable experience. The return climb is more demanding due to the altitude, with optional mule assistance available from local community members. The tour also includes a visit to the Tigua Community, offering a meaningful cultural encounter with local artists who share the traditions and techniques behind their vibrant naïf paintings. This unique combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage makes for an enriching Andean experience.
