Who we are
Quilotoa, the local way
Quilotoa Tours is a local travel agency based in Machachi, in the Andes south of Quito. All our tours start and end at our office in Machachi, and we can pick you up in Quito or other cities for an extra cost.
We know the road to Quilotoa, the villages along the way and the trails around the crater, and we plan every tour at a pace that suits your group, from an easy visit to the viewpoint to a full hike down to the water.
Our tours are private or in small groups, with local guides who share the stories of the Andes and the Kichwa communities that live around the lake.
