It was a cold and blustery day, but the weather seemed to suit the location. Quilotoa Lagoon is a water-filled caldera and the most western volcano in the Avenue of Volcanos. The 2 mile-wide caldera was formed by the collapse of the volcano about 800 years ago. The lake changes color depending on the weather. It can vary from turquoise to green, to even a yellow on some days.
The indigenous community surrounding the lagoon have started some community based tourism projects horseback rides to the bottom of the lagoon, guided hikes in the area, a market to sell handicrafts and paintings. There are hostels and cafes to stop in and warm up!
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
