Camping in a Crater
Pululahua is an inactive volcano about 17km north of Quito. Approximately 40 families inhabit the area today living off agriculture, animal pasturing and tourism. There are various sites to visit in the crater and hosterÃas in which to camp, hike and ride horses. Our group stayed at the Rinconada de Rolando Vera - a small hacienda owned by retired marathon champion, Rolando Vera.
