    Shalala was a beautifully built center and trails to enjoy the Quilotoa volcano lake. The trails were nicely done, the area was easy to explore and more nature oriented than the Quilotoa lake village. If you are not used to high altitud, you need to go slow and take breaks. Also you can ask for suggestions that help with altitud. It was worth the extra drive. The road was not paved in areas.

    This is the only male monastery in Ecuador. Situated on top of a hill with an out of this world view of the surrounding valles and the great Chimborazo Mountain. A place where you can really feel full peacefulness. The monks offer an hostal type accommodation for overnight stay. They are a strict order of Catholic monks that pray 8 times a day in a small chapel wher everyone is welcome to participate, or at least watch. Regardless of your relgious believes, this is an experience to never forget. The monk of brother attending the small store is so very helpful and exudes the true Cistercensian spirit, making you feel welcome. I go visit as offen as I can, It is a good two hours drive from Quito, but well worth it!

    Sitting directly across from Latacunga’s main plaza (Parque Vicente Leon), is this massive church. It is painted blindingly white and features an impressive bell tower. It seems to be closed most of the time, but they seem to open it for evening mass. The interior is somewhat underwhelming as it is quite austere. Be sure to see this church at night when it is bathed in lights.
