Full day at Laguna Quilotoa: nature and Andean culture｜Ecuador

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable day from Quito to the majestic and emerald Laguna Quilotoa. The adventure begins at the Tigua Gallery, where you can explore and acquire authentic works of traditional Ecuadorian art. Then, marvel at panoramic views from the Mirador del Río Toachi, anticipating the grandeur of the region. It is an incredible opportunity to be in contact with Andean people, their customs, worldview and peculiar way of life.

Upon arriving at the community of Lago Verde, we approach the Mirador de la Laguna de Quilotoa, a must-see point on this excursion. From there we did a photo session with the most wonderful background, the emerald waters of Laguna Quilotoa.

Along the way we observed indigenous farmers in their ancestral clothing, flocks of sheep, fields of potatoes, onions and barley, as well as steep peaks and a unique relief.
