Sueña despierto en Quilotoa: el abrazo encantador de Laguna te espera
Descripción
En el corazón de Ecuador, al amanecer, comienza nuestro viaje de descubrimiento. En días selectos, los vibrantes tapices de los mercados de Saquisilli (jueves) o Pujili (domingos) llaman la atención y ofrecen una visión del rico tapiz de la vida indígena. Mientras atravesamos hacia la Laguna Quilotoa, una brillante maravilla esmeralda acunada dentro de un abrazo volcánico, las montañas andinas se mantienen como centinelas, su majestuosidad puntuada por el antiguo cañón de Zumbahua y los susurros del tiempo en las aldeas indígenas y las verdes tierras de cultivo. Esta odisea, que recorre algunos de los reinos más vírgenes del país, se detiene en una morada indígena, donde las historias de la tierra cobran vida a través de su gente. Así que prepárate, porque esto no es sólo un viaje, sino una inmersión: una danza de la cultura y la grandeza de la naturaleza.

Alejandro was our guide and we had a private tour as the 3 of us (my family and I) were the only ones who did the tour that day. It was magnificent. Alejandro entertained us with much of Ecuador’s history and about its volcanoes. We went to a very nice community and finally was very patient when making the hike to the lagoon. The tour was very complete and Alejandro always had a very good energy and attitude that really infected. We are happy to have found such a good guide and a complete tour.
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaron de un tour tan especial en compañía de Alejandro. Qué bueno que la historia del Ecuador, las visitas a la comunidad y la caminata a la laguna hayan sido experiencias memorables para ustedes. Alejandro estará muy feliz de saber que su energía, paciencia y actitud positiva hicieron la diferencia en su día. Nos llena de alegría saber que su familia tuvo un recorrido completo y significativo. Gracias por confiar en nosotros. ¡Será un placer acompañarlos nuevamente en futuras aventuras por Ecuador!
Our guide Felipe was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the places we visited. The tour was very interesting with different stops with beautiful scenery. Lunch was very good. Everything was excellent. We really enjoyed it.

Alejandro was our guide for Quilotoa and he did a great job of informing us about the day, information about Quilotoa and was also very entertaining! I loved the market where we got food and snacks and the scenery at Quilotoa was beautiful I really enjoyed the tour and setting up was really easy with Carpe DM. I recommend them for sure
Dear Genny_sandiego Thanks so much for your review on the Quilotoa day tour with Alejandro. It's great that the market was a highlight for you! Also, we are pleased you are happy with the booking process. We hope you will be back some day soon for more adventures!
Alejandro was a kind, fun and knowledgeable guide on our private tour from Quito to the Quilotoa Lagoon. He made sure we had all the information we needed and we were preared for what's coming next. He speaks excellent English, drives carefully and provided excellent context so we could properly enjoy the tour. He was very punctual and the hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient for us. Tasting new fruits at the Saquisilí market was a great addition to the tour! And the included lunch after the hike was delicious and filling :) Overall, we felt we were in good hands throughout the whole day!
Dear Todor Thanks so much for your review of the Private Quilotoa day tour with Alejandro. We are so glad you enjoyed Alejandro as a guide and that you enjoyed visiting the Saquisili market to try some of the different exotic fruits we have to offer in this amazing country. We hope you will be back again some day to enjoy more of what Ecuador has to offer.
Views were amazing, guide was very informative and funny which made the day very enjoyable. Was a very warm day so winter clothes weren't necessary. The market we stopped off at was great also, and we were able to try some different foods for breakfast before going on to Quilotoa.
Dear Rebecca Thanks so much for your, for your review of the Quilotoa day tour with Alejandro. We are so pleased you enjoyed the views and Alejandro. It sounds like you were lucky with the weather, It is always good to go to Quilotoa with layers as it changes drastically from day to day! We hope you will be back one day for more adventures with us.
Stop over a local market, experiencing original Ecuadorian breakfast - exciting! Driving through wonderful landscape, Alejandro explaining a lot. Quilotoa was amazing, still really hot with the sun burning at noon, walking the 400 meter up the hill. But it was really worth!
Dear Tobias Thanks so much for your review of the Quilotoa day tour with Alejandro. It is great to hear you enjoyed getting breakfast and that despite the hot Sun it was worth it, I think you were Lucky as often it is cold at Quilotoa. If you are ever back in Ecuador and are looking for more adventures you know where we are!
We had a lovely day at Quilotoa. Hiked down and back up the crater (up is hard work!) and went kayaking in the lagoon. Options for motor boats too and mule rides up. Scenery is stunning. Alejandro was our guide. He gave us lots of info about Quito, Quilotoa and the stops we made along the way, and was generally just nice, cheerful company throughout :)
Dear Master W Thanks so much for your review of the Quilotoa day tour. We are so happy to hear you had a lovely day out. We hope you will be back for more adventures.
Amazing views of the lagoon and a safe trip out from Quito with an informative guide telling us a bit about the beautiful countryside. The hike up from the lagoon at altitude is a challenge.
