Lake in the sky
It was breathtaking scenery, (literally). This was at 10,000+ feet, but worth every breath.
Description
Beautiful lakes set in the high Andean grasslands (Pàramo) about 17km from Otavalo Ecuador. This area was protected in 2002 due to the work of Casa Mojanda. Nearby Fuya Fuya a jagged extinct Volcano is within hiking distance from the lakes. Be wise to the altitude while hiking (10,000+ ft.). This makes a good day trip from Otavalo. Guided tours are offered through Casa Mojana, which supports low-impact tourism.
