Itinerary description

Part of the Quilotoa-Traverse.

The old route is not supported anymore as the bridge to cross the river has been washed away.

The new route has signs at the important intersections. Directions from Cloud Forest Hostal.

The shortcut is steep and not recommended in rainy conditions. Instead of taking the shortcut, you can follow the road.
