One of the most underrated crater lakes
Stunning views of the Andes
The scenic Cuicocha Crater is situated at the foot of Cotacachi Volcano in the Reserva Ecologica Cotacachi. It is a spectacular reserve with beautiful landscapes and views of the lake and countryside. The trail that follows the crater rim starts by the information centre, and is easy to find. This hike will take you through some breathtaking views around the Cuicocha Crater, where you can get a great view of the Cotocachi Volcano in the background. The whole loop is 14 km long, and should take you about 3 to 5 hours to finish. Presently, there are no fees to enter the reserve.
