    Upon arriving in Cotacachi and after enjoying a delicious lunch, we will head to the stunning Cuicocha Lagoon, located in the crater of an extinct volcano. This is the perfect spot to take a leisurely walk around the lake while enjoying panoramic views of the crater and the surrounding mountains. We also have the option to take a boat ride on the lake, offering a unique perspective of the landscape, or take a light hike around the lagoon, where we can admire the fascinating wildlife that inhabits the area. Please note that the entrance fee to the boat tour is not included.
