LAGUNA EL ALTO

A great option for hiking, it's about 4km long but you can spend all day here (it's uphill!); there are many viewpoints with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, and the lagoon, nestled at the bottom of a volcanic crater at 2,000m, is beautiful - you can even camp nearby. There is another way to get there, but only for the more athletic: take the path that leads to the El Enladrillado area. The area is known to be shaped like an alien landing strip.
