Accommodation

During the trek, you will stay in standard private rooms in refuges. The rooms have a private bathroom. On other nights, you will stay in Hosteria Papagayo. The hacienda is the perfect hub to relax before and after your trek.

Program

Day 1: Hosteria Papagayo

Sitting snugly at 3,100 m (10,170 ft), spending the night at Hosteria Papagayo is the best way to acclimatize before you begin your trek. Day 1 will be dedicated to arriving at PapaGayo, organizing food and equipment, and getting prepared for the next day. Rest well tonight as tomorrow will begin your trek!

Day 2: Sigchos trek

This day’s route includes rivers, suspension bridges, and Andean valleys. You will pass by remote Andean communities throughout the day.

Day 3: Chugchilan trek

Trekking among the Andes is one of the best ways to see native wildlife and flora. The trek to Chugchilan is quite picturesque. Witness the vibrant colors of the Andes and again pass by traditional Andean towns. Time will seem to stand still there among the peace and harmony.

There will be some steep areas along this day’s trek, but in general, there is not much variation in the terrain.

Day 4: Quilotoa trek

Depending on the weather conditions, one of the route options to reach Quilotoa Lagoon will be chosen. Nevertheless, all three are excellent options that present an abundance of Andean flora and fauna.

You will pass by more indigenous communities and then arrive at Quilotoa Lagoon, one of the most beautiful lagoons in the country. You will spend the night near the lagoon, which will allow you to stargaze at night.

Day 5: Andean activities

Hosteria Papagayo has scheduled two relaxing activities for this day. Ecuador is one of the largest exporters of roses in the world, so a visit to a rose plantation is a must. During the rose plantation tour, you will have the opportunity to witness the entire process - from planting to exportation - and appreciate the variety of roses and their colors.

Admire these gorgeous roses that stand from two to five meters tall. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a yoga class at Papagayo.

Day 6: Transfer out

Sadly, the adventure is over. You will have a transfer from Papagayo to Quito.

Included excursions

  • Rose plantation visit

Location

Trekking in Ecuador

In a country that has a glorious range of hiking, a trail will always be within your reach. The terrain of the Ecuadorian Andes is composed of an array of snow-capped summits, paramo grasslands, and misty cloud forests. With diverse and dramatic scenery, a multi-day trek is the perfect way to explore Ecuador’s sprawling landscape.

Perfectly situated among the Avenue of Volcanoes, Papagayo is an ideal and charming location to begin and end your trek. The most popular treks from Papagayo are around Cotopaxi and the Quilotoa crater.

Quilotoa Lagoon

The Quilotoa trek is a customizable multi-day trek around a glistening turquoise crater lake. You can choose to do it in a daytrip and walk down into the crater, kayak, and hike back up or you can walk around the crater.

This trek is considered the most popular in Ecuador, probably due to the ease and comfort of doing this multi-day trek. There is also accommodation available all along the loop.
