Hiking
In the afternoon it gets cloudy. Best practice is arriving before noon, or doing a morning hike around the lake.

Hiking
Quilotoa Lake is about 30 minutes from Latacunga and should not be missed on an Ecuador trip. The walk around the crater takes around 4-5 hours, depending on the breaks you take. For trained people, the circumnavigation is also possible in 3 - 3.5 hours. The highest point is at over 3900 meters. Right on the lake there is the possibility to rent a kayak for $ 3 (30 minutes) to admire the crater from below.
Descent to the lake about 40 minutes, ascent about 1 hour.
Make sure you wear good shoes. The views are amazing.
