It is considered a sacred lagoon in the beautiful Culebrillas ("Laguna de Culebrillas," n.d.). The landscape of this place consists of pine trees and a path full of grasslands, chuquiraguas, broom, and wildflowers. This lagoon is fabulous because, as mentioned before, it is a sacred lagoon for the Cañari culture. It is located at the bottom of the Yanahurco hill or "Cerro Negro", near Cañar city ("Laguna Culebrillas," n.d.). In the surroundings of Culebrillas lagoons, there are several stone residential foundations, which evidence the presence of the Cañari-Inca cultures many years ago. So, it is a place of history too. It sounds like a magic place, doesn't it?

It is 28 kilometers from Cañar city center. You can go there by car, or go hiking. The weather is generally so cold, so wear warm clothes and wear rubber boots or appropriate shoes. What are you waiting for visiting it; Culebrillas is waiting for you!

The river that feeds the lagoon is shaped like a path traced by the mythical Cañari snake.
