Itinerary
Day 1: Quilotoa Lagoon / Andean Communities /Hike
Stop At: Laguna Quilotoa, Laguna de Quilotoa, 070701 Ecuador
The Quilotoa Loop is a remote, bumpy, mountainous road linking several high Andean villages and towns with the city of Latacunga. It offers one a chance to get off the Pan American highway and see some of the more remote people and culture of the central Andes of Ecuador.
Duration: 4 hours
Meals included:
• Lunch
• Dinner
Accommodation included: Overnight in Cotopaxi in selected hotels
Day 2: Cotopaxi Volcano – Hiking – Andes Landscape
Stop At: Cotopaxi National Park, Ecuador
Cotopaxi is Ecuador’s second tallest active volcano and a favorite among mountain climbers, locals and visitors. Because Cotopaxi is a stratovolcano, the first thing about it that catches everyone’s attention is its imperfectly-perfect conical shape, which is a result of its periodic explosions that have built up layers (or strata) of hardened lava, pumice and ash overtime.
Duration: 4 hours
Meals included:
• Breakfast
• Lunch
Accommodation included: Overnight in Baños (selected hotel)
Day 3: Baños - Quito
Stop At: Pailon del Diablo (Devil's Cauldron), Rio Verde - 18Km From Banos, Banos Ecuador
The Paílón del Diablo is a fairly large waterfall (located on the Pastaza River) just 30 minutes away from the town of Baños in Ecuador. It is considered to be one of the most popular attractions in the area. The name of the waterfall in Spanish (Paílón del Diablo) means in English “Cauldron of the Devil”. it is free to view it from the suspension bridge, you can pay about 0.50$ and walk the path that get closer to this amazing waterfall.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: La Casa del Arbol, Runtun village, Banos 010151 Ecuador
One of the coolest places in Baños, Ecuador is the Casa del Arbol. This tree house is built on the edge of one of the mountains next to the Tungurahua Volcano. On a clear day you can see it clearly. The volcano has been active since 1999 and climbing has been prohibited since that time, so this is about as close as you can get to it.
Duration: 1 hour
