Another Lagoon that on the way to Quilotoa, maybe not as pretty as Quilotoa, but a nice place to stop and stretch your legs.

The Kichwa people of Tigua, located in the central Sierra region, are famous for their traditional paintings on sheepskin canvases. Historically, the Tigua people were famous for painting highly decorative masks and drums, painting on flat surfaces is somewhat of a modern development. Tigua painting tends to have vibrant colours and simplistic themes. The themes in most paintings are scenes of pastoral life, religious ceremonies, and festivals. The volcano Cotopaxi is commonly painted in the landscape of many paintings, as it holds a lot of cultural significance in the region.

We will stop here to enjoy the spectacular view of the Río Toachi Canyon viewpoint and for a short break to stretch the legs.

Upon arriving at Quilotoa, we will have our lunch and then walk to the shores of the lagoon, where you can kayak or just enjoy the landscape. Then you can do the ascent either on foot or rent a horse for just $10. Finally, we board the van to return to the town of Baños.
