Laguna Quilotoa
About 14km north of Zumbahua, the famous volcanic-crater lake of Laguna Quilotoa is a gasp-inducing sight. A lookout on the precipitous crater rim offers stunning views of the mirror-green lake 400m below and the snowcapped peaks of Cotopaxi and Iliniza Sur in the distance. When you ask the locals how deep it is, they inevitably say it has no bottom, which seems entirely plausible given its awesomeness (the geologists say 250m).

Kirutwa
Kirutwa is a big, new, comparatively swanky restaurant right up on the crater rim. Offering classics like locro de papa (potato soup with cheese) and choclo con queso (corn on the cob with cheese), Kirutwa is run by a foundation that returns much of the revenue back to the local community.
