Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Bezoek een lokaal gezin en leer over hun cultuur, we zullen leren over de caviacultuur.
Ontdek de kunstenaarsstad, hier leren we over de Naif-kunst.
Bezoek aan het uitkijkpunt van Quilotoa: wandeling en bezoek aan de Quilotoa-lagune: de krater van de slapende vulkaan vormt een kom die het azuurblauwe water van de lagune verzamelt. De kleur is te wijten aan de ophoping van zwavel. Volgens de legende was dit het toneel van de strijd tussen de Quilotoa-goden die aan de oppervlakte leefden en Toachi, die onder het meer was, want dat wekte afgunst op het vermogen van de eersten om de kleur van de lucht weer te geven. Bezoek aan de ambachtelijke werkplaats in de gemeenschap van Tigua: Kleur is de hoofdpersoon van de verhalen die de ambachten van Tigua vertellen, werken die worden vervaardigd door de gemeenschap met dezelfde naam. Deze schilderijen dragen geometrische en figuratieve vormen, typerend voor respectievelijk de precolumbiaanse en koloniale tijd. De sporen leggen het verstrijken van de tijd bloot, wat een belangrijk element is van het wereldbeeld van de Andes. De meeste zijn maskers gemaakt van dennenhout en schilderijen gemaakt op schapenhuid, die ervaringen uit het dagelijks leven vertellen.

This was a very full day trip with a long drive. Our guide Carlos seemed to be on a mission to get it completed as soon as possible. On the bus there was no stopping to take photos of the views. The 2 places we did stop, an indigenous home and an art gallery where not that interesting and Carlos made no attempt to explain these stops. At Quilotoa lake he left the group well behind on the way down. He did however remain with the back walkers on the way up. After the lunch it was then a speedy drive back into Quito.
I love this tour, we have different stops to enjoy and experience the view. The hike is nice and There were few people even of it’s was Saturday. Our guide is Erica and she is very knowledgeable. She shared a lot of fun facts and history of Ecuador including a song about Ecuador and the Amazon. She also recommended great restaurant to eat dinner. I highly recommended this tour
This was a great day! Our tour guide was Pam, she was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed the drive up the mountain which included seeing over 50 dogs on the way! A very well planned and well executed tour. I would definitely recommend if you’re in Quito. The hike is a bit rough but the mules that can take you back up the mountain are worth the extra price.
our guide was amazing!! i learned so much the entire day. i would strongly recommend this day tour!!
Enjoyable day. Tour guide arrived in time to pick us up and made sure we had everything we needed during the day. The walk into the crater was beautiful but if you're older, you'll need to take your time and watch your footing. Hiking sticks helped. Unless you are in peak condition, be sure to reserve a horse for the ride up. Even the 20 something's were breathing hard and resting a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour. Great company and very organized.
I had originally booked two tours with the company, but I had such a great time that I added a new one. The tour to Quilotoa was great. Very complete and well organized. Very good communication prior to departure. I also forgot my sunglasses in the van and the next day they took them to the reception of the hostel. Jess, the guide, was fantastic. Thanks Mauricio too (he found my glasses)! Beautiful landscapes and I had the opportunity to get on a mule to avoid the steep climb to Quilotoa.
My family and I had a fantastic day with visiting Quilotoa on a private tour. Our tour guide Ernesto picked us up promptly at 9 am in a very comfortable SUV. During our drive to Quilotoa, he shared his vast knowledge of Ecuadorian geography, history and culture, pointing out mountain ranges, telling us Ecuadoran folktales, answering our questions about politics and economics, and leaving us with a much better understanding of his beautiful country. He introduced us to Julian and his family, who are local Ecuadorians farmers living in a traditional thatched roofed home, and to a local Ecuadoran artist who paints colorful, fanciful landscapes. When we arrived at Quilotoa, Ernesto offered us two different two-hour hikes, one down to the lake, the other around the crater. We chose the latter hike, which because of unusually strong winds was modestly challenging, but also spectacular. The views of the lake from the rim were truly breathtaking. After the hike we enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant that Ernesto recommended. A truly memorable day in Ecuador, with much thanks to Ernesto.
Jenny was an awesome tour guide, she was very well spoken and explained everything. My boyfriend and I had so much fun. I would highly recommend this tour with Jenny
We toured Quilotoa with Best Trip Ecuador and it was an excellent decision. The place is beautiful, the tour full of beautiful landscapes and a pleasant visit to the house of Don Julian, however the best thing about this tour was our guide IRENE who with his charisma and personality demonstrates passion and love for his country and for his work. Irene explains every detail with patience and dedication, I recommend this tour 100%.
Excellent trip to Quilotoa, Excellent guides Carlos and Jessie. Even though we were running late coming back, it was no bother for them to stop so we could see the ash coming from Cotopaxi volcano. Great value tour, thoroughly recommend
