Cuicocha Lake, EcuadorToday is another hiking day! I have been itching to get up to Cuicocha Lake the whole time I have been in Ecuador. Cuicocha is a crater lake that lies at the foot of Cotacachi Volcano. The water of this lake is highly alkaline, lending a turquoise color to it. There are two small islands in the middle of the lake that have local deer populations. You can also climb the Cotacachi Volcano, though it's a long, arduous trip. We decide to hike around the lake instead, which takes us 6 hours. After our long hike (with spectacular views), we head back to the hacienda to relax. I wander over to the equestrian center and pet the gorgeous horses in the paddock. Wish we had time to ride! We have dinner at the hacienda and head to bed early tonight.
We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.

Clara was great to work with. She presented lots of options and always responded promptly. And she found excellent options within our price range.
