Itinerary
Enjoy a wonderful journey to the most impressive volcano in the western Andes, known as Quilotoa or Quiru Toa which means “The Princess Tooth”. This is a fantastic drive through stunning mountains sceneries and stops along the way visiting local Andean communities. You will travel along the spectacular ‘Avenue of Volcanoes’ passing beneath its towering peaks, stopping in a village of the Paramos community, the painters town known as Tigua, where you’ll explore a local home, learn about their daily life and admire their art. Finally, you will visit the lagoon inside Quilotoa volcano (you can choose for hiking down to the lagoon or just admire it from the viewpoint). Also, after the hike you can return back by mule-riding all the way to the viewpoint. At this point you will enjoy a nice typical lunch at an Indigenous Restaurant famous for the Potatoe Soup. At the end of the day, we return back to Quito.

La Compañía de Jesús glows with gold leaf inside, the Basilica del Voto Nacional has gargoyles shaped like Ecuadorian animals, and Plaza Grande is surrounded by the cathedral and the presidential palace.
