Description: Private transport will take you to the shores of Lake Mojanda at an altitude of 3.700m (12.100ft). From there we start our climb (2 hours) through páramo grasslands to the top of Fuya Fuya Mountain (4.265m, 14.000ft). At the top we enjoy a snack and the stunning views of the Mojanda lakes and surrounding peaks like Imbabura, Cotacachi and Cayambe. Finally, we descend and drive back to Otavalo where lunch will be served.
Difficulty: moderate
Total Duration: ~6 hours
Note: Those who do not want to climb Fuya Fuya can alternatively explore the three lakes Caricocha, Huarmicocha and Yanacocha (option LCT-4a).
