Quilotoa Crater Lake is a stunning volcanic lake located in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. Formed by a massive eruption around 800 years ago, the lake sits in a caldera that is about 3 kilometers wide. Its vibrant turquoise color is due to the minerals in the water, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The lake is approximately 250 meters deep and is surrounded by steep cliffs, offering breathtaking views from the rim. Visitors can explore various trails around the crater, enjoy local culture in nearby villages, and experience the unique biodiversity of the region.
