Aside from being notable for its majestic lagoon, Quilotoa is also notable for lacking a "classic high mountain summit" (its highest peak "Juyende" is at 3,930 m). This modest altitude of its summit has earned it acclaimed popularity due to the ease with which it is easy to visit and explore its entire erupted summit.
The "Complete Lap to the entire Quilotoa Crater" is the symbol of conquering its summit, an 11-km (6.8miles) trail that usually begins at the Quilotoa Viewpoint and then crosses the Shalala Lookout, Juyende Peak, Pilapuchín Lookout, and other natural viewpoints sites.
A local guide is not required to complete the lap to the summit. Hiring one is highly recommended for inexperienced tourists.
