Quilotoa Crater is a stunning volcanic caldera located in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. Formed by a massive eruption around 800 years ago, it is now filled with a vibrant turquoise lake, which is a result of mineral-rich waters. The crater's diameter is approximately 3 kilometers, making it a significant geological feature in the region. The area surrounding Quilotoa is home to indigenous communities, particularly the Kichwa people, who maintain traditional lifestyles. Visitors can hike around the rim of the crater or descend to the lake for breathtaking views and unique experiences. The region is also known for its diverse flora and fauna.
