In the heart of Ecuador, as dawn breaks, our journey of discovery commences. On select days, the vibrant tapestries of the Saquisilli (Thursdays) or Pujili (Sundays) markets beckon, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of indigenous life. As we traverse towards the Laguna Quilotoa, a shimmering emerald marvel cradled within a volcanic embrace, the Andean mountains stand sentinel, their majesty punctuated by the ancient Zumbahua canyon and the whispers of time in indigenous hamlets and verdant farmlands. This odyssey, winding through some of the nation's most untouched realms, pauses at an indigenous abode, where the stories of the land come alive through its people. So, brace yourself, for this is not just a journey, but an immersion - a dance of culture and nature's grandeur.

Alejandro was our guide and we had a private tour as the 3 of us (my family and I) were the only ones who did the tour that day. It was magnificent. Alejandro entertained us with much of Ecuador’s history and about its volcanoes. We went to a very nice community and finally was very patient when making the hike to the lagoon. The tour was very complete and Alejandro always had a very good energy and attitude that really infected. We are happy to have found such a good guide and a complete tour.
Unforgettable day

Alejandro was our guide for Quilotoa and he did a great job of informing us about the day, information about Quilotoa and was also very entertaining! I loved the market where we got food and snacks and the scenery at Quilotoa was beautiful I really enjoyed the tour and setting up was really easy with Carpe DM. I recommend them for sure

Alejandro was a kind, fun and knowledgeable guide on our private tour from Quito to the Quilotoa Lagoon. He made sure we had all the information we needed and we were preared for what's coming next. He speaks excellent English, drives carefully and provided excellent context so we could properly enjoy the tour. He was very punctual and the hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient for us. Tasting new fruits at the Saquisilí market was a great addition to the tour! And the included lunch after the hike was delicious and filling :) Overall, we felt we were in good hands throughout the whole day!

Views were amazing, guide was very informative and funny which made the day very enjoyable. Was a very warm day so winter clothes weren't necessary. The market we stopped off at was great also, and we were able to try some different foods for breakfast before going on to Quilotoa.
Great experience in Quilotoa

Stop over a local market, experiencing original Ecuadorian breakfast - exciting! Driving through wonderful landscape, Alejandro explaining a lot. Quilotoa was amazing, still really hot with the sun burning at noon, walking the 400 meter up the hill. But it was really worth!
Good day out

We had a lovely day at Quilotoa. Hiked down and back up the crater (up is hard work!) and went kayaking in the lagoon. Options for motor boats too and mule rides up. Scenery is stunning. Alejandro was our guide. He gave us lots of info about Quito, Quilotoa and the stops we made along the way, and was generally just nice, cheerful company throughout :)
Great experience, would recommend

Amazing views of the lagoon and a safe trip out from Quito with an informative guide telling us a bit about the beautiful countryside. The hike up from the lagoon at altitude is a challenge.
