It's actually the remnant of a collapsed volcano; the lake is called Laguna de Cuicocha, located a few miles outside of Cotacachi in northern Ecuador.
Same from above; supposed to be a trail around the top of the ridge/rim, but my legs and lungs won't do it in this life.
Great pictures! Did you take the second one from the plane on your way in to Ecuador? Carolyn and I are now wanting to come to Ecuador? Do you not do much hiking any more? We are enjoying following your adventures!
ReplyDeleteI pulled these off the internet. Not doing as much hiking since we sold the mountain house.
