Itinerary description
This us the hardest day prepare for an uphill battle. Once you reach the crater it doesnt end there. You have to dice with some death passes especially if windy like when we went. At one point it was that small a ledge and windy that we turned back and crawled on hands and knees fearing for our lives and went a different safer way. Tge lake is beautiful but sadly we didnt get to appriciate it due to tge veru strong winds nearly blowing you over when you got a view of it. Once arrive at quilotoa you can stay in one of the many hostels and catch a bus the following morning, or try and get bus the same day. We stayed in the first hostel we saw due to been tired and very windy out side. Not the nicest accommodation but it had hot shower and a bed. We then got the 9am bus tge following day to latacunga. For $2.
