One of the few things we absolutely knew we wanted to do in Ecuador was hike the Quilotoa Loop (QL)--or Latacunga Loop (LL) as some called it. After quite a bit of failed research, we realized that the best and only way to do this was to get to Latacunga and take it from there. Turns out that: those two loops are not the same, the best way is not necessarily on your own, and experience, not internet research, is the only way to determine these things.
Our original plan was to do the bigger loop (LL) which included the smaller QL, that treks the circumference of a great big high-altitude vocanic lake. As opposed to going with a guided tour, which seemed to be a pretty popular yet expensive option, we set out on our
own to find our way. One not so tourist bus not so chicken bus later, we found ourselves in the back of a pickup truck flying up a dirt road toward the first hike, the QL.
