Itinéraire

1. We will visit The Quilotoa lagoon, one of the most beautiful volcanic lagoons on the planet. The most significant feature of this lagoon, with a depth of 250 meters, is its turquoise green waters. The Quilotoa is the westernmost volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes, within its crater a caldera with a diameter of almost 9 km has been formed. We will hike down to appreciate how the minerals have given the surface a greenish and bluish hue when it is hit by sunlight. Inside, there are springs that, from the shore, can be seen as bubbling trails that rise to the surface.

   6 h

2. We will visit the traditional Tigua town, where artists have always been known for decorating masks and drums for their festivals with precision and vibrant color. Their talented hands create an extravaganza of color and beauty that is beyond what would be expected from self-taught artists. Once in here you will have a painting lesson with the ancestral technique of painting on a sheepskin. You will take your creation as a souvenir to remember this unconventional experience.

   1 h

3. We will visit the viewpoint of Toachi Canyon, a great geographical accident in the form of a gigantic ravine that partly crosses the reserve and is visible from a natural viewpoint in the vicinity of Sigchos. This geographical feature has a viewpoint to appreciate its beautiful landscape in whose deep interior runs the Toachi River, the main hydrographic axis of the Area.

About Quito

Quito, capitale andine d'altitude de l'Équateur, a l'un des centres coloniaux les mieux préservés d'Amérique latine, cerné de volcans.

Le centre historique fut l'un des tout premiers sites inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, et ses églises, ses places et ses monastères sont spectaculaires. La Compañía de Jesús resplendit de feuilles d'or à l'intérieur, la basilique del Voto Nacional a des gargouilles en forme d'animaux équatoriens, et la Plaza Grande est entourée de la cathédrale et du palais présidentiel.

Top-ranked sights in Quito: Cotopaxi National Park, Basilica of the National Vow (La Basílica del Voto Nacional), Independence Plaza (Plaza de la Independencia).
