A spectacular site, beautiful high mountain Crater Lake, its formed in a potentially active volcano. The views of the emerald green lake are striking, do not missed this tour if you have the chance. Trek down from the rim of the volcano to the lake, the climb back up is quite steep and take over an hour. You can avoid the hike up with a mule ride back to the top. Of the towns strewn along, we can stop at Pujili, a small indigenous and mestizo village with its Market on Wednesday and Sunday.

Quilotoa Lake: Quilotoa is a water-filled caldera and the western most volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. The 3 kilometers (2 mi) wide caldera was formed by the collapse of this volcano following a catastrophic VEI-6 eruption about 800 years ago, which produced pyroclastic and lahars that reached the Pacific Ocean, and spread an airborne deposit of volcanic ash throughout the northern Andes. The caldera has since accumulated a 250 m (820 ft) deep crater lake, which has a greenish color as a result of dissolved minerals (no fish live there). Fumaroles are found on the lake floor and hot springs occur on the eastern flank of the volcano.
