Departure: Thursday & Sunday (shared tour) / every day (private tour) Nearby the Andean mountains there is an emerald coloured lagoon, located inside a volcano crater with a height of 3800 meters (12,467 ft) named Quilotoa. Its geography allows us to walk down from the edge of the crater to the base where the lake is located. The minerals in the water make the lagoon a spectacle of different tones: green, turquoise and blue. Let yourself be amazed by the Quilotoa lagoon.
