Full-Day Quilotoa Lagoon: Tigua Community and Lunch

Travel through the heart of the Andes, passing indigenous villages and colorful local markets that reveal the authentic rhythm of rural mountain life.

Enjoy free time for photos and, if you wish, hike down to the lagoon’s edge along a trail filled with dramatic Andean scenery.
