The Lagoons behind the El Altar Volcano. To reach them you need to do the Campamento Italiano Trek. Probably one of the most beautiful places to visit in Ecuador.

Laguna Negra Pagcha, an exquisite campground located in the Chimborazo region of Ecuador, is a must-see for any outdoor enthusiast. With stunning views of the mountain range and breathtaking panoramic vistas, it provides an ideal setting for camping and hiking. It is a difficult 14.79-mile loop hike with plenty of elevation gain (4,219 ft) and challenging terrain. Completing the circuit rewards you with a visit to Campamento Italiano, a relic from the 1953 Italian expedition. For those up for the challenge, it is the perfect combination of physical exertion and nature's beauty. Along the way, take pause to marvel at other sights like Polylepis forest, the Waypoint 14,313ft and the first Laguna view. Start your adventure today and let nature astound you with the wonders it holds!
