Message from João Petersen

Lago San Pablo, located at the base of Imbabura volcano in Otavalo, Ecuador, exists as a tranquil and picturesque haven. Covering seven square kilometers and reaching 48 meters deep in its center, it is an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy the beauty of nature while partaking in some outdoor adventure activities. Among the many attractions found around the lagoon are its thriving flora and fauna, such as rainbow trout, carp, grebes, cormorants, duck, patillos, gallaretas, hummingbirds and sea swallows, as well as the breathtaking panorama along its beaches. Additionally, visitors can take part in water sports and Lago San Pablo events like slalom, powered canoe trips, boat rides and motocross championships. According to legend, the lake was formed out of love by an indigenous couple and their unending romance continues to live on.
