エクアドルの湖・トップ20

It's an excellent viewpoint, both for Limpiopungo Lagoon and for Rumiñahui and Cotopaxi Volcano. Because of the cold, you'll need to wear a coat.

A beautiful circular path leads around the lagoon and great animal sightings are possible.

A beautiful lagoon that you can also walk around from the parking lot. When the weather is nice, you have a good view of the Cotopaxi.

Nice walking path through mangroves, cacti and brackish lakes.

Nice to look at. When we were here there were 4 pieces. I don't know how many others there are

Beautiful to look at when the water is like a mirror.

Very nice to see how the flamingos show themselves in their splendor!

Arriving from Otavalo without your own car: From the bus terminal, take the bus to Cotacachi or Quiroga. Buses run every 15-20 minutes. Just ask for Laguna at the terminal and someone will direct you to the right bus. Cost per ride: $0.4. The bus driver will drop you off at a taxi rank in Cotacachi or at the central park in Quiroga. From there, the only way to get to the lagoon is by taxi, as there are no buses going there. A taxi will cost around USD 5-6. For the return trip, it's best to use the taxi driver's phone number to call him for the return trip, as the lagoon is pretty deserted and there aren't really any taxis around. The price for the return trip is the same as for the outward trip. It would also be possible to hitchhike back at least to Quiroga, since the road from the lagoon goes through Quiroga. From there or Cotacachi, take the $0.4 bus to Otavalo again. The buses also leave here very regularly.
