Equilotoarial
Quilotoa crater lake, Cotopaxi province, central Ecuador. A rare ray of sunlight illuminates the landscape through persistent clouds. The weather is always crappy here. ALWAYS! There are very few photos out there that show in lake under clear skies, but they must be science fiction. The elevation at the crater rim is about 3800-4000 meters (13000ft), so it's always cold since the sun almost never comes out.
On the bright side, the fanciest hotel to stay in the village costs only $20USD per night, including breakfast (I bet you can't thaw that butter they serve even if you sent it to the depths of hell), private bathroom with way too cold water, a giant dead cockroach in the bathroom sink, an overwhelming stench of insect spray, and 17 strategically placed incense sticks trying to cover up that stench.
