Cuicocha Lagoon hike is a fun and moderately challenging 7.7-mile loop trail near Cotacachi, Imbabura, Ecuador. As you make your way along this stunning loop, you will experience a variety of flora and fauna with magnificent views of the lagoon, the Cotacachi Volcano in the background. It is an excellent path to get acclimatized to the high altitudes as there is not much shade in certain areas. Make sure to bring some snacks, water, good hiking shoes with a good grip, and rain gear just in case! You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to explore Cuicocha Lagoon!
