Quilotoa is a crater lake and the westernmost volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes, formed about 800 years ago by a catastrophic eruption. The caldera, resulting from the collapse of the dacite volcano, houses a 250-meter-deep green lake, with fumaroles at the bottom and hot springs on the eastern flank. Access to the small town of Quilotoa, nearby, is usually via rented truck or bus. Visitors pay an entry fee, and activities include hiking around the caldera. The village of Quilotoa is a starting point for the "Quilotoa Crossing", a multi-day hiking route between villages in the Quilotoa Loop.
