Itinerary

Because of the Black Sheep Inn's unique location, you can enjoy several days of walking right from the Inn. Walks range from a half hour to a full day and incorporate several micro-climates. The hike from Laguna Quilotoa to Chugchilán gives you spectacular views of the emerald Crater Lake and you will traverse the indigenous village of Huayama and cross the Rio Toachi Canyon. Experience the real Ecuador in this safe and rural location. Hike through the Rio Toachi Canyon, enjoy patch work fields of the sierra, be on top of the world in the high grasslands of the paramó, and enter the eerie, humid, cloud forest. Altitudes range from 8,000 to 12,500 feet (2500 to 3800 meters) making it easy to acclimatize and train for Ecuador's higher peaks while enjoying all the comforts of the Black Sheep Inn.
