In Zumbahua a nice market will occur every Saturday, where the vendors are coming from mountains to the main plaza. Guinea pig, groceries, local products and fruits from the coastal region are easy to find.

Its last activity of Quilotoa crater lake was happening proximally 800 years ago, causing a large pyroclastic flows of pumice stone and fall ash deposits. All of this volcanic material was threw out to the north part of the Cordillera of the Andes, therefore permitting the migration of the native people.
