Ubicado en el volcán más occidental de los Andes ecuatorianos, Quilotoa es un cráter lleno de agua de 3 km de ancho. En este viaje, exploraremos esta hermosa caldera y también veremos las tierras altas inexploradas alrededor de los pueblos en el oeste de Cotopaxi. Estas regiones remotas y áridas tienen distintas características andinas y aún conservan un encanto indígena.
Es probable que no olvides este increíble viaje en toda tu vida. Comenzaremos visitando la hermosa laguna del cráter y continuaremos explorando la típica vegetación de las tierras altas. A medida que atravieses estas tierras altas, también te encontrarás con nativos acogedores que viven aquí.
La gente de Quilotoa aún practica sus tradiciones y costumbres milenarias. Así que aquellos que buscan una experiencia auténtica y completa, ¡definitivamente están de suerte!
Comenzaremos el viaje conduciendo hacia la ciudad de Latacunga. Pasando por el pequeño pueblo de Pujilí, nos dirigiremos hacia el pueblo de Tigua. Aquí, tendrás la oportunidad de visitar la Galería de Pintores de Tigua y ver las coloridas pinturas de artistas indígenas.
Al día siguiente, caminaremos durante unas buenas 5 horas para llegar al Cráter Quilotoa. Pasando por granjas privadas, llegaremos a este lago de cráter esmeralda. Pasarás el resto del día viendo las famosas pinturas de Tigua y máscaras de madera talladas.
El tercer día nos lleva al hermoso pueblo de Chugchilán. El camino ofrece vistas espectaculares del cañón del Río Toachi. Este pequeño pueblo es un ejemplo perfecto de un pueblo de montaña típico en Ecuador, con una pequeña plaza, una iglesia y una escuela.
El último día implica un par de caminatas de medio día alrededor de Chugchilán. Puedes elegir visitar la fábrica de queso local o caminar hacia Sigchos o simplemente pasear por el pueblo antes de volver a Quito.
Será una experiencia excepcional, te lo aseguro. Así que, envía un mensaje ahora para reservar tu lugar. ¡Estaré encantado de guiarte! Además, revisa mi expedición a través de los Volcanes Ecuatorianos aquí.

The simple fact is there are any number of guide services that can get you to the top of Cayambe, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. But if you really want to have the experience of a lifetime, then choose Andean Face
The whole trip was fantastic! Of course the three climbs were very challenging, especially the Chimborazo, but thanks to Jose and Mauricio for their encouragement I enjoyed the location of the different haciendas for the rest. A true ecuadorian experience! I will definitely recommend Andeanface to other climbers.
I'm very happy with the expedition and to have reached planned summits. The guides were very good and dedicated The logistics were very good and the drivers were very kind and did also a great job. I have enjoyed it a lot and it was a very good experience for me.
This was a fantastic trip from beginning to end. Javier, I especially appreciate how well Javier took care of my daughter's (gluten free) dietary restriction, and that he arranged to take my daughter and I for the covid tests required for our return to the U.S. at the end of our trip. The entire team of guides were all knowledgeable, professional, personable and highly attentive to the group's needs. I appreciate how well thought out the itinerary was planned. The daily hikes along the Avenue of the Volcanoes increased in elevation every day in order to acclimate to the higher altitude, giving the best chance of success in reaching the summit of Cotopaxi-the main event-at the end of the week. Cotopaxi is a VERY tough hike, unlike anything that I've ever done before and certainly outside my comfort zone Again, simply a fantastic trip from beginning to end.
Javier delivered an outstanding expedition from end to end. Everything was seamlessly organised - from transfers between haciendas/campsites to equipment hiring. Pace of the acclimatisation programme was just right, with rest days in between the summit attempts on Pasochoa, Ruminahui and Cotopaxi spent in beautiful accommodation with great food throughout. The other guides Pablo and Marco were exceptional: personable and professional - we felt very safe in their hands.
