Ok considering you live in Cumbayá, I suggest you take advantage of the 1 day tours that originate from Quito. You can experience Cotopaxi, Papallacta, Quilotoa, and Octavalo. These tours are organized and affordable costing around $70 per tour. You can buy tickets at the north end of Carolina park (near Quicentro) on Naciones Unidas street and shyris, just walk about 100 feet from Shyris towards Amazonas on the same side of the park. You will see the tour booth, and you can get information and buy your tickets there. If you go early you might see the double-decker tour buses in front.

if you want to see something very ecuadorian. Get into Kitchwa territory. Go to Tena in Napo province and early in morning take bus to Papanku will be an eye opening experience
