Lake Limpiopungo

Lake Limpiopungo is located in Ecuador, near the city of Latacunga, at an altitude of 3800 meters above sea level and is famous for the fact that from its shores you can observe a stunning panorama of the volcanoes of Cotopaxi, Sincholagua and Ruminaui.

This lake was formed due to the melting of glaciers, but is now threatened with extinction due to its use as a source of irrigation fields. Many people are fascinated by its unique beauty.

Along the route leading to the lake, herds of llamas and other mammal species can be observed, especially many rabbits and deer. On the lake itself there are gulls, ducks and baldheads. On the shores of the lake grow various shrubs and marsh rosemary.
