Quilotoa Crater Lake.
The famous volcanic-crater lake of Quilotoa is one of Ecuador's most staggering sights. From the precipitous crater rim there are stunning views of the mirror-green lake some 400 meters below, and the snowcapped peaks of Cotopaxi and Illiniza Sur can be seen towering in the distance.
Quilotoa Panoramic view.The Devil's Nose (Nariz del Diablo)
It's a hair-raising train ride descent from Alausi to Sibambe, down a death-defying stretch of track.The steep descent after Alausi is accomplished by a series of switchbacks down the steep mountainside.
Train to La Nariz del Diablo.Occasional rickety-looking bridges cross steep ravines, the train regularly derails, but this is part of the fun besides the ride on the train's roof.
