Trekking in Cuicocha + Cotacachi + Cayapas National Park
- The Cuicocha lagoon is within the Cotacachi Cayapas ecological reserve, one of the most important protected areas of our country. For indigenous cultures it is presented as an energy and fertility site, known by our people as Laguna del Cui. Cuicocha (kichwa: Kuychi Kucha , "rainbow lagoon" or Tsuish Kucha , "lagoon of the Gods")
- The caldera was formed by a massive eruption about 3,100 years ago, which generated 5 km3 of pyroplastic flows and the surrounding areas covering 20cm volcanic ash.
- The volcano has remained inactive since that event. The eruptions of Cotacachi, Imbabura, Mojanda and Cayambe have generated extremely fertile soil in the Otavalo Valley, which opens up that this city is rich in agricultural production.
