Salcedo

Off the Quilotoa Circuit and 10 km south of Latacunga along the Panamericana, is Salcedo (officially San Miguel de Salcedo), with a pleasant main square. The town is known for its delicious fruit ice cream, also sold in other parts of Ecuador; give it a try (Heladería Tiwinza on the southbound street through town is recommended). The area is also known for its excellent máchica (roasted barley flour) and pinol (máchica with raw sugar and spices, which makes a nice drink prepared with milk). The Thursday and Sunday markets are authentic. San Miguel fiesta is 29 September.

From Salcedo a road goes east to Cashaloma and beyond to the northwestern edge of Parque Nacional Los Llanganates.
