mirador
(or outlook) to snap shots, or hike to the bottom for about an hour. A longer hike

those looking to spend the night, there's a small (and
very
basic) refuge at the bottom and
camping is free but nights are very cold. There are plenty of indigenous-run lodges sta-
tioned around the crater as it's recommended to sleepover and catch Quilotoa when the
sky is bright in the morning.
