Quilatao Lagoon with Daniel
Highly recommend this tour!! Daniel was prompt and on time to pick me up. On the way to Quilatao Lagoon, there are a lot of stray dogs that get dumped there and just sit on the side of the highway. We went to the local bakery and bought food for them. It was heartbreaking to see those dogs! But glad we got to feed a lot of them! The tour to Quilatoa was informative and Daniel had such a passion for Ecuador, culture and history! We had a couple of scenic stops before making it to the lagoon! We tried the Canelazo and Salcedo Ice Cream! Delicious! The scenery was spectacular!! Highly recommend Daniel and his tour!!
