Quilotoa Lagoon Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lake is impressively colored in deep turquoise in its round bed. Jagged is the cliff edge that frames it, creating a path for the hiker to admire the beauty of the lagoon from all sides.

Truly beautiful views of the Lrater with its crater lake. We were also really lucky with the weather. New plants are always being discovered. To my liking.

The crater is at an altitude of about 3,900m. The rim of the crater is surrounded by a 10km circular trail. Both the view of the crater and the view of the surrounding area are bombastic. Unfortunately we were only able to walk part of the way.
