Lake Cuicocha


Sunday 8th April

We left the house early this morning to head up to a volcanic crater lake called Lake Cuicocha – Lake of the Gods to the indigenous Kichwa indians. At 3000m it certainly close to them! It is a vast lake in the crater of a live volcano surrounded by stunning mountains, with two islands in the middle. We walked on a path around the lake being blown away by the views and the clouds rolling in towards us. It was amazing. The rest of the day was great, we took a boat ride around the islands in the lake and stopped at a place where bubbles come up from the bottom of the lake from the volcano underneath, very cool!
