When we were at Hotel Taita Cristobal, we talked to the owner's son, Jose about a ride to Quito. He knew taxi drivers from nearby communities who could come get us and he began to arrange our departure. However, we asked him if he could just take us and worked out a plan that was easier. Also. A bus arrives once a day

Also: I asked Hotel Cristobal if they ever run out of room and they said that it has happened very seldom. They have lots of rooms and I think they will make more. However, you can make reservations by email and they will hold it for you.

Hi Jeff, my wife and I paid between $20-25 for a private room with private bathroom (March 2016). The price included breakfast and dinner. For our first day we walked around the Q crater. The following day we then hiked from Quilotoa to Chugchilan to Insinlivi to Sigchos, spending a night at each town. This took us 3 days. Then took a bus from Sigchos back to Latacunga. Although we walked the entire loop, if you do not wish to do this, you can always ask your hostal to organise a taxi/truck to take you to the next town or wherever else you want to go (Quilotoa for example). We did not personally catch a taxi or bus, but we heard a couple say it was approximately $15 to get to the next village. I know there is a bus from Latacunga to Sigchos, but not entirely sure if that same bus goes all the way to Insinlivi. If it doesn't, i believe it would be easy to get a taxi from Sigchos to Insinlivi. I hope this helps and that you enjoy your time. The hikes can get a bit tiring, but it is definitely worth the effort!
