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.
By far the best sleep we had in 3 weeks in Ecuador! The beds were amazingly comfortable and cozy and the rooms were so quiet. Showers were nice and hot, breakfast was filling. It was a great home base for us to do a few day hikes in Quilotoa. Not to mention the owners were unbelievably friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend!
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 location is central and right in front of quilotoa Lake. The food was delicious, and the prices were remarkably reasonable. Many guides and day visitors visited the place. There is a little market in the lobby with souvenirs etc., that is very convenient. At night the fire in the room is started by the hotel staff.
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.
Room is nice and clean. Dont expect brand hotel amenities, but great enough to chill and quiet. Has everything you need to stay for a night or more. Breakfast and dinner are really good and prepared by the owner. Close by the lake and others restaurants and stores.
Lovely and welcoming. Great value - comfortable and clean room, good food included. We loved the wood fire at night, we met great travelers while there. We ended up staying another night :) Quilotoa is absolutely beautiful. We could have stayed much longer.
Lovely family run hostel. They are very warm, welcoming and do everything they can to help! The food was great and the room though cold, was heated by a fire on request. Great location, very short walk to the viewpoint and start of Quilotoa lake trail.
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 hostel is very cosy and extremely tidy, room are spacious with hot water and a stove, food is delicious and the family that runs the place is very friendly and accomodating. Overall a great find in Quilotoa.
spacious room right in quilotoa. nice hosts. breakfast and dinner is included (although dinner might be too basic for some. breakfast was great though)
. parking available.
Super clean, useful location for the bus (2 min walk), really nice staff and very comfortable room. Would really recommend to stay after you finish the Quilotoa Loop!
Additional heating available, since temperatures can fall below zero during night. Perfect breakfast and dinner. Super location at the beginning of Quilotoa village.
