    Part of the famous Quilotoa Loop hike, clock-wise. - most of the time an easy hike - be aware of agressive dogs on the way, especially close to Isinlivi - could also be done from Isinlivi to Chugchilan

    Es una ruta bien definida y muy hermosa,durante la mayor parte del tiempo se va junto al rio.
