Yahuarcocha Lagoon is a stunning lagoon located north of Ibarra, Ecuador. Surrounded by lush nature and native crops, Yahuarcocha has become a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to take part in activities such as biking, walking, jogging, or simply admiring the majestic views. On the shore, visitors can find restaurants, docks, playgrounds, bike rentals, and boat rentals. The best time to visit the beautiful Yahuarcocha Lagoon is in the morning hours, although people often visit this lake on the weekends as well. With its temperature averaging around 51° F (11°C), one should come dressed warm and in comfortable shoes.
