TRIP OVERVIEW
One of the most beautiful natural sceneries in Otavalo and its province. The Mojanda Lagoon in Tabacundo is surrounded by grasslands and remnants of native forests that maintain a biodiversity representative of the northern Andean moors.Mojanda is actually a complex of two volcanoes that were active simultaneously. The volcanic vents are only 3 km away. The other volcano, which produced at least two own Plinian eruptions is known as Fuya-Fuya.
We will pick you up at 5:00 am to drive through beautiful landscapes in Ecuador. At 9:00 am, we will arrive in Mojanda lagoon. After this, we will hike to the summit of Fuya-Fuya, 5 hours of hiking approximately. Fuya-Fuya partially collapsed about 165.00 years ago, creating a large caldera to the west. A new volcanic cone and other lava domes subsequently extruded into the caldera, probably during the late Pleistocene. We will be returning to Quito at approximately 16:00 pm.
Meals included: Lunch.
NOTE.– Minimum 2 people to run the tour!
