This is a must see beautiful place.
This is a must see beautiful place. The drive to Quiatola has some of the most spectacular views in Ecuador. The views at Quiatola are breathtaking. Be prepared to pay a nominal per person fee to get into the park at Quiatola.

The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa,...
The Princessa Tia Hotel is the place to stay in Quilatoa, best location, great breakfast, large room and bathroom, very clean and comfortable bed. But the best feature is the rooms all have an electric heater. Quilatoa is cold, so the benefit of the heater, which is rare to find anywhere in Ecuador, is amazing!
The rim hike is beautiful but steep and slippery in places. Poles would be a good idea. The hike down to the lake is surprisingly long, steep and slippery. There are horses or mules that can take you back up for $10 pp. Get out early as the fog moves in around 4pm and obscures visibility of the lake. The sun in the morning makes the water’s colors amazing. You can take a kayak out or go for a motorized ride in a zodiac.
The town is tiny and closes up early so don’t delay going to dinner. There are no pharmacies or banks and only 1 ATM which wouldn’t work with our card. Also, be careful because there are no gas stations for the entire Quilatoa Loop. Fill up before heading up either route to Quilatoa.

We were in Quitoloa during the low season.
We were in Quitoloa during the low season. Not too crowded :)
Accommodations at Cuchirawa Hostel were directly across from the crater. Ample free parking; we walked everywhere. Enjoyed a post-hike beer at a restaurant on the crater ridge.

The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step!
The Quilotoa Loop was absolutely worth every step! For sure start from Sigchos so you can have the lagoon as a reward after 3 days of difficult hiking. The hikes were beautiful (although rather steep) and a fantastic way to reach Quilotoa.

The views were breathtaking and amazing; there was a 6hr hike around the rim with a few areas the path made you doubt what you were doing but overall it was worth it; the hike down to the water takes about 30-40 minutes and 1-1.5hrs to hike out - I am not an avid hiker and it took me 2hrs to climb back up. The trail is slippery and hiking poles were beneficial. I'd love to go back and do the 4 days hike around.

Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing!
Trekked the Quilotoa loop. It was amazing! the views are fantastic and it is a medium difficulty hike. The only problem was coming down the highest point. It is incredibly slippery and there is nothing to hang on to. The ground is loose dirt so one has to be VERY careful.
The hosteria was absolutely beautiful! The closest hotel to the quilotoa loop. The hike start literally just cross the street. You can just start hiking down and grab a “taxi” on the way up (horse taxi haha). You walk into the hosteria and you walk through a restaurant, the food was very good! You must try the potato soup with avocado and local cheese in there. We love fire place in our room, the nights get cold and little fire makes evening perfect!
The family is sweet and welcoming;
Breakfast and dinner were filling and comforting;
Location is very close to the Laguna - we did the hike around the crater;
We had the hostel to ourselves with another couple for 1 night so it was very peaceful and quiet;
A fire was lit in our room at night as it gets pretty cold in Quilotoa;
Hot water in the shower is always a plus!
This family run hotel is wonderful. It's modest, but we enjoyed how comfortable the staff made our stay. Dinner and breakfast being included was nice. Its location is very near the top of the Quilotoa Crater - maybe four football fields away. The hotel is just across the street from the start of all the shops and restaurants.
The hosts, Doña Ester y Don Gonzalo, went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. They prepared a firewood for us and we had a delicious supper in their company, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Hostal Rosita is on the track linking Quilotoa to Chugchilan, about 500 meters from the village of Guyama San Pedro.
The hotel is located right across from one of the best views of Quilotoa crater lake. It was very convenient to access the hiking trails. The shower was great; hot with good water pressure. The staff tried hard to be helpful; it is obviously a local family run business.
Staff were incredibly friendly. Perfect location for the Quilotoa lake, only a short walk away from main view point and starting location for the hike. Bus dropped us right next to the hostel. Dinner and break was filling.
Martita’s was so clean and so welcoming. The food was scrumptious. There’s a constant parade of interesting locals passing by the hostal all day long. Get to the town of Quilotoa soon. It’s growing up quickly.
The people working there were very friendly. The breakfast and dinners were good sized and fulfilling. The rooms are clean and nice. Location is fantastic - walking to Quilotoa crater is 5 mins.
The room was spacious and nice, this is one of the few places in Quilotoa with a decent size and very comfortable bed, where tall people fit. Breakfast was very good.
Additional heating available, since temperatures can fall below zero during night. Perfect breakfast and dinner. Super location at the beginning of Quilotoa village.
