Hike through the Toreadora Lagoon area, where vast páramo grasslands, glacial lakes, and the mystical Polylepis forest create a surreal landscape. This moderate hike offers breathtaking views and insights into the unique high-altitude ecosystems of the Andes.
After an authentic Andean lunch, featuring fresh trout and other local specialties, continue to Llaviuco Lagoon, a serene cloud forest oasis teeming with birdlife. Take a gentle walk around the lake, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere before heading back to Cuenca.
