We will walk also to the Mica Lagoon (4.050 m), result of the end of the last ice age, to get a better view of the volcano and to observe water bird species such as: Andean gulls, Andean lapwings, coots, ducks, and black-faces ibis, which curiously live in Chile and only in the Antisana Volcano (5.753 m.a.s.l.) in Ecuador!
