Quilotoa’s crater lake glows turquoise inside a high-Andes caldera, framed by steep páramo slopes and volcanic ridgelines.

Expect altitude ~3,900 m, cool winds, and changeable weather—pack layers and plan for misty views. Access is via Latacunga or Sigchos; buses/taxis to Quilotoa, with parking near the village.
