Enjoy the famed Cotacachi leather market in this award-winning municipality, and combine it with a trip to the Cuicocha lake in the crater of the Cotacachi volcano. At the lake, visit the ecological and ethnic interpretation center, and take a boat ride around the islands or take a ridge hike around the lake. The hike around the entire lake takes between 3 ½ and 5 hours.
