The easiest way to get to the start of the hike is to take a bus from Latacunga. Buses run several times a day. Most people will spend the night in Latacunga and take a morning bus so they have time to hike from Sigchos to Isinlivi the first night. The hike takes about 3-5 hours. We caught the 8 am bus and were in Sigchos ready to start the hike by around 9:45.
