About this place:

Beautiful lakes set in the high Andean grasslands (Pàramo) about 17km from Otavalo Ecuador. This area was protected in 2002 due to the work of Casa Mojanda. Nearby Fuya Fuya a jagged extinct Volcano is within hiking distance from the lakes. Be wise to the altitude while hiking (10,000+ ft.). This makes a good day trip from Otavalo. Guided tours are offered through Casa Mojana, which supports low-impact tourism.

    One of the tours from Casa Mojanda (Bed and Breakfeast) is to Lagunes Mojanda. Breathtaking (literally) views of a lake and surrounding foothills.
