It's an incredibly beautiful place. The mountains in this area are really beautiful, reaching up to 5000 meters. There are trekking routes up to 5 hours too.
Love this place. Nice little museum. Wonderful trails.
A good place to enjoy the nature
Great place! The Loop is very easy to find and it's easy to medium level, when we went it was raining a little bit, so the road went a little bit slippery. I highly recommend going there with Mountain boots and rain jacket. Definitely worth it.
Special place, well worth the effort of walking around. The views change quite a lot so I really would encourage you to go all the way around. It takes 5 hours so get there before lunch, last entrance is at 5 and I think there is 24 hour security so if you get there late and need a taxi back to Cotacachi you're not completely screwed.
This is an amazing place to visit.there is a trail to hike around the lake, which takes about 4.5 hour to traverse, and there is a local museum to learn more about the history of the surrounding region. It is a really nice place to visit.
Excellent vistas. Nice 4-5 hour hike around the Laguna / crater rim.
A truly beautiful volcanic lake. Very scenic overlooks and great hiking.
amazing
We only visited Laguna Cuicocha, but it was beautiful and interesting.
Great experience, the trip around the lake is very interesting and fun. Good services food and info
Ecuador es un país maravilloso para visitar. El servicios de trasporte es muy sencillo, excelente y barato, con carreteras en muy buen estado. Para llegar a la reserva Cotacachii se puede tomar un bus desde Quito con destino a Otavalo (costo $3 2017). Duración aproximada de 2 horas. El bus se toma desde la Terminal Terrestre de Carcelén, ubicada al norte de la ciudad. Hay dos compañías que te llevan a Otavalo: “Los Lagos” y “Otavalo Buses”. Salen a lo largo del día, alternativamente, cada 20 minutos. Al llegar a Otavalo, se toma un taxi que cobra $5 (2017) que lo lleva directo a la reserva que se encuentra a 12 km de Otavalo. No hay costo de entrada, dentro de la reserva se puede tomar un bote para darle vuelta a las islas que se encuentran dentro del cráter.
increíble la cantidad de vegetación y fauna
Nice place
Lovely
