QUILOTOA, ECUADOR - ABRIL- 20- 2008. The Quilotoa Lake is located in the province of Cotopaxi in Ecuador, in the southwest of the Ecuadorian capital, Quito. It is a lake of volcanic origin, in whose crater a caldera of about 9 km in diameter is formed. The depth of the caldera is 250 meters and there we find the blue-green lake. The Quilotoa environment is made up of indigenous communities, such as those of Quilotoa, Zumbahua, Tigua, Shalalá, Chugchilán, Itupungo and Guayama San Pedro, where different types of accommodation are offered to tourists, such as hostels, community cabins, hotels or inns. In addition, ecotourism, community tourism and adventure tourism activities are also offered. Horses are rented to go around the caldera or go down to the lake. In the lake there are means of water transport as well as kayaks and boxes. The Quilotoa Tourist Circuit allows you to enjoy activities such as trecking, hiking, horseback riding, camping and high rodeo. (Photo: Patricio Realpe/ChakanaNews)
