This is probably the most photographed crater lake in Ecuador- its brilliant blue colour makes it very photogenic.
The trail is along the ridge of the crater & gradually winds up to a lookout point half way around the lake. The views are amazing all the way - as you have an uninterrupted view of the surrounding coutryside- Imbabura, Cayambe and Cotocachi volcanoes can be seen. Out of all the hiking I did in the volcanos around Quito, this was my personal favourite.
