About this activity

Enjoy a full day to the crater of Quilotoa, in the community of Zumbahua. On the way you will visit a local market, indigenas hut, a sightseeing, and finally hike down to the lagoon.

Quilotoa is an exotic volcano with a beautiful lagoon inside its crater. The emerald colored waters offer the opportunity for kayaking after a joyful walk to the beach of the lagoon. On the way to this volcano we will have the opportunity to visit an indigenous market to share with the locals. Following that that, be part of the normal living of the people that lives in the highlands, and a last stop at the Toachi Canyon for the famous picture of the end of the world. After you reach the bottom and have enjoyed the kayak you will return to the town of Quilotoa for lunch, after which you’ll return to Quito.
