In front of the Cotacachi volcano is a large crater of a now extinct volcano (probably the same volcano, but I don´t know). Many moons ago, the volcano imploded and the glaciers that covered the top of the volcano melted and formed a crater lake that is now called Lago Cuicocha. It has two islands in the center. We visited the lake with our host family and several other host families and volunteers who helped with the health care visit in October. Here are a couple of pictures of the family at the edge of the lake. You can guess which one is the normal one. Also note that Bentz is clowning around in both.
Here is the boat that carried us around the islands in the center. Everyone in Otavalo thinks that the crater lake has no bottom. We learned that it is several hundred meters deep. Yes, it looks like Jorie is about to test out the depth, but no, she did not fall in. Just playing around.
Here is a picture of one happy camper.
