Hike to Limpiopungo Lagoon in Cotopaxi National Park
Experience highland nature and volcano views—no planning needed
Informationen über Limpiopungo Lagune
At 3,800 meters above sea level, Limpiopungo Lagoon rests in quiet stillness—surrounded by golden grasses, Andean peaks, and the towering cone of Cotopaxi. Located in the heart of Cotopaxi National Park, this glacial lagoon is a haven for wild horses, waterfowl, and even the occasional flamingo. With Viventura, you’ll follow the loop trail around the water’s edge and take in one of Ecuador’s most striking natural scenes.
What we like about Limpiopungo is the moment Cotopaxi’s snowcapped peak reflects perfectly in the water—majestic and almost too beautiful to believe. As your guide shares insights into the fragile páramo ecosystem, you may spot a condor soaring overhead or glimpse tiny footprints in the volcanic soil. It’s where silence, scenery, and learning all come together—just for you.
