Laguna Quilotoa is the highlight of the Quilotoa Loop. Located 14km north of Zumbahua, it is an volcanic-crater lake that sits at an elevation of 3900m and offers stunning views of both the lake and the mountain ranges surrounding it. A hike around the crater lake takes approximately 5 hours, and views of the Cotopaxi can be seen in the distance. Hikers can also hike down 400m from the rim of the crater to the lake itself in about 1 hour. The small village of Quilotoa lies to the southwest of the lake, and basic accomodations run by indigenous people are available.
