Quilotoa Loop

We just finished up the 3 day 38km hike from Quilotoa to Sigchos called the Quilotoa Loop. We started at Quilotoa and were lucky enough to have the Quilotoa Crater to ourselves before we started the 3 day hike through the Ecuadorian Andes.

Each day, we passed through amazing landscapes of rural farms and villages on the hillsides of the Andes and ascended and descended up and down to the Sigui/Toachi Canyon. The steep climb in/out of the canyon, combined with the 3500m+ altitude, made this one of the hardest hikes we've completed. Despite the difficulty, we saw beautiful scenery, lucked out with clear weather (considering it's currently the wet season) and had a great time exploring the Andean hills.Læs mere
