Laguna de Cuicocha
Laguna de Cuicocha Review
West of town, a milewide, oblong lake cradles itself in the lower flanks of Volcán Cotacachi. A well-marked hiking trail heads up the crater's rim into an ecological reserve that affords fantastic views of the distant Imbabura and Cayambe volcanoes. Within the lake are islands that can be visited on inexpensive boat tours.
- Address: 18 km (11 mi) west of Cotocachi, Cotacachi
- Location: Cotacachi
