Itinerary description
The well-known and well-trodden loop of Quilotoa, day one.
Took the 09.30 bus from the Terminal Terrestre in Latacunga for about $2.5 per person. Takes around two hours to get to Sigchos, where you can start hiking right away.
Easy trail, but we missed some markings here and there, so adviceable to keep a map or your phone handy. First part goes down, second part has some incline. Lots of roads though, so prepare to breathe some fumes every now and then.
Stayed in Taita Cristóbal, which was very nice. Though I think Llullu Llama is top notch and probably the best guesthouse on the trail.
