| Hiked the rim in about 5 hours at a leisurely pace. Really cool area. Nice weather. If we had more time, I would have liked to kayak in the lake. | |

| PAROFES | From Zumbahua Date Climbed: Jan 20, 2011 | |
| Long, long walk...at some point i got out of the road looking for a trail, got lost for about 15 min and after that found the little village on top of the crater rim...hiked down (big mistake for someone with a damn never ending cold hehehe) and after that hiked up again. Got a bus ride back to Quito and that's it. Tired as hell....but, fantastic views! | |

| Hiked around the Quilotoa crater rim, thereby traversing Volcan Quilotoa. Fantastic views and great atmosphere. Continued hiking all the way to Chugchilán, which is a long trip, but definitely one of the most gorgeous hikes I have ever made! | |

| ncst | Down the crater Date Climbed: Feb 3, 2010 | |
| I wanted to hike the whole rim, but didn't have time since the last bus back to Latacungo supposedly leaves at 3pm (it then turned out that you can get to Zumbahua for 2.50 USD, from where there are more buses to Latacunga). It took a while to get there. So I just hiked down to the beach at the crater and back up. Very scenic ride to get there too! | |

| camerona91 | Where is the true summit? Date Climbed: Jun 4, 2009 | |
| Is the summit the summit looking thing about 1/3 of the way around counter clockwise from Quilotoa? We hiked the whole rim, definitely recommended. | |

| paisajeroamericano | Barefoot Walkabout Date Climbed: Feb 5, 2007 | |
| Funny, I didn't really think of this as a peak until now, but it certainly is a distinctive volcano. I camped down at the crater for two nights. In between, I hiked up and around the entire lake, partially at lake level, partially on the rim, and partially in between. The kids working down at the lake were super friendly. Don't miss the impressive canyons near Chugchilan if you end up heading over that way. | |

| Nice high altitude hike. Heloise (FRA) and I started at 2:10 pm after we hiked up and down from the lake. Beautiful sunset with few intervals of rain. It took us 4 hours to hike the whole crater rim. | |

| Beautiful landscape, for a very nice walk. Just a few dogs annoying us here and there. But they're just there to protect the fiels and the sheep nearby from any intruder. | |
