la laguna de la cocha

Less than 1 hour away from Pasto, amazing land scape and plenty of resorts and restaurants….don't miss the fresh trout

Magico y espiritual!Casas lindas, gente amable, los mejores dulces y postres del pais. Pero la fuerza espiritual que se siente es increible, que lugar mas bello!!!Magic , beautiful architecture, local people very friendly and kind, the best deserts and candies of Colombia!... what i liked most was the peace and quiet that you feel there... cold and fresh air... is amazing!

I enjoyed this site totally, the way to arrive is very well. don't forget stop in the viewpoint to take the best photos. For lunch I recommend "The chalet Guamuez" were you will find a very good "trucha", attractions for all ages and a boat to the island. In the harbor you can find good gastronomic plates and also a boat to the island. The island is a natural spotview of birds, very nice.

It was a fantastic experience,and very close to nature. I took two different water taxis in order to get to the island of Crota, it was a little cold, and windy, and scenery was inspiring, took amazing pictures of the lake, mountains, the church. On the way back I had dinner at a local restaurant, and ate the most delicious smoke trout, that I had ever had. I recommend going there if you are able to appreciate nature at its best.

Very close to Pasto town, it will take u no more than 40min to get there. There are two small places to have breakfast or lunch, we tried the "swiss Chalet". Is a charming little place.Make sure you are properly dressed: boots, windproof jacket it gets cold and rainy. Have a hot "agua panela" (alcohol-free) or a "hervido" (local alcohol beverage) to warm you up.Enjoy the landscape and make a little hike.

Great trip!!! You have to go to el puerto which is the little village where the magic starts. You´ll find the boats that will take you to the island of La corota where you can stop and walk through the protected flora and fauna area. THIS TRIP COST NO MORE THAN 25.000 PESOS OR 13 USD, NO MORE, and pay when the trip ends. In your walk up stairs ask about the HERVIDOS and have one to get warm. It is a drink made of fruit juice an a pinch of AGUARDIENTE. If you don´t like liquor just tell them and they will make a special one for you without it. When you go back to el puerto my best advice is to eat at REFUGIO DEL SOL and ask for TRUCHA ASADA (grilled trout) or the even better TRUCHA AHUMADA (smoked trout) and to dink another Hervido or Aguapanela!!!

This lake is worth a visit for the day, or stay in the 2 shore hotels. Not suitable for swimming (cold water) but fun for boat trips -there are many water taxis available at the 'Puerto'-.

We weren't planning on stopping here, but since we couldn't get north to Popayan due to protests blocking the highways, we checked it out. So glad we did! We're more little town people than big city folks, so the village was a nice place to wander around (not big, though, and mostly just restaurants selling trout - but oh, such good trout!). The boat ride was lovely, and the quick hike on the little island in the middle (a national park!) was fun. We considered going to one of the reserves nearby afterward and didn't, but I kind of wish we had.

Si vas de visita a Pasto es indispensable que visites la laguna de la cocha, es un lugar hermoso que brinda muchos atractivos, desde caminar tranquilamente hasta embarcarse en lancha hasta la corota. Muy interesante paseo.

La Laguna de la Cocha, clima frío cálido, cuando hay sol, quema. Tranquilidad profunda. La comida deliciosa, especialmente la trucha típica de los restaurantes sobre el canal de la laguna. Gente muy amable y dispuesta a servir. El paseo en lancha rodeando la Corota (isla natural ubicada a pocos kilómetros del muelle) se debe hacer, posee un santuario de flora y fauna, el cual se camina mientras se disfruta. Hay varios hoteles estilo chalet, unos típicos y sencillos, otros elegantes. La trucha típica más rica se encuentra en los restaurantes familiares y no en los menús de Chef de hoteles vistosos.

Recomendable el plan de almorzar trucha en cualquiera de los restaurantes del puerto. No dejen de recorrer la laguna en lancha y de caminar por el santuario natural de la Corota

É a maior lagoa da Colômbia é muito bonito, por 50 reais pode fazer um passeio de barco e conhecer melhor, é muito frio é recomendado para vestir um casaco, é muito bonito e muito ar fresco. Gostei muito

Es el segundo lago más grande de Colombia y su belleza es incomparable. La comida es deliciosa, muchas truchas frescas, acompañadas de unos ricos hervidos (jugo de fruta con aguardiente) y el calor humano que tocan el corazón.

Ubicado aproximadamente a una hora de Pasto, hay un lugar cerca de Alkosto donde salen taxis y colectivos ($8.000 aproximadamente), hay muy buenos restaurantes de todos los precios (especialidad trucha arco-iris), se puede pasear en lancha (hay de varios precios desde $20.000 en adelante en grupos), hace bastante frió por eso se debe ir abrigado y con protección solar, es bastante concurrido los fines de semana, existe hospedaje de varios precios.
