In the heart of the Quilotoa Loop is Quilotoa Laguna, I got a bus here from Latacunga via Zumbahua through the most beautiful countryside, spent the night in a hostal at Quilotoa run by an indigenous family, it's cold up there at 3900 meters at night. The walk down to the lagoon is fairly treacherous, there is a path but it's very rough, but it's fun, down by the lagoon there are paddle boats that you can hire, the are also small horses you can hire to take you back to the top of the rim, costs about $5usd, the horses are a little stubborn and like to take a lot of rests but it's better than walking up!
