The town is named after the volcano on which its located, and the lake that has formed inside the crater. It is an active volcano.
The reason for me to be here is the Quilotoa Traverse, a 3 days hiking tour starting at the edge of the crater, passing through the small village of Chugchilán and ending in Sigchos.
I've being looking forward to hike again since we left Quito. With an altitude of 3914m seems to be challenging and rewarding enough.
