Cumbal lagoon

The Cumbal lagoon, also known as La Bolsa lagoon, is situated 3440 meters above sea level at the base of the Cumbal volcano, in the Nario department, south of Colombia.


This lagoon is distinguished by the absence of waves, the extremely low temperature, and the gray appearance of its waters. The Cumbal lagoon basin is tiny (9.8 km2) and situated in a zone that is extremely vulnerable to aquifer recharge. For the local natives, who are members of the grasslands ethnic group, it is a sacred location since, in their view, it is where humanity first emerged. Because of this, you can assume that this location has feminine energy because it reminds you of a woman's uterus, which is why it is called the bag.


You will be able to take in the spectacular scenery of the Republic of Ecuador's snow-capped mountains, valleys, and neighboring volcanoes. As a result of the abundance of rainbow trout in its waterways, you can also engage in sport fishing activities. Additionally, you can get to know the local indigenous people and learn about their culture, traditions, and cuisine.
