TRIP OVERVIEW
The large crater (3 km in diameter) of this modestly tall volcano is home to a 240 m deep turquoise lagoon that can be reached by walking into the crater at an altitude of 3570 m. The 2 km diameter lagoon is one of the many jewels of Ecuador! Many tourists visit the Quilotoa Lagoon, but only a minority go to the top or a tour of the crater rim, although it is only a hike. For those heading to the Top 10 volcanoes, this is the perfect course for high-altitude cardio training! We will begin our adventure at approximately 4:00 am, driving through beautiful landscapes. Then we will arrive at Quilotoa Crater Lake at 9:30 am approx. and we will start trekking around the Quilotoa Lagoon (6 hours approx. – Medium Difficulty). After this activity, we will have lunch, and at 17:00 pm approx. We will return to Quito.
Meals included: Lunch.
NOTE.– Minimum 2 people to run the tour!
