DAY 1: COTOPAXI NATIONAL PARK

Ready for an active day tour to the Cotopaxi volcano? We will drive you safely and quickly to the Cotopaxi National Park. After breakfast, get ready for an intense hike up the 5,897 m (19,347 ft) tall volcano Cotopaxi. This makes the Cotopaxi one of the highest active volcanoes in the world! You can hike up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft) to a spectacular glacier. Already mind-blown? The Andean landscape in Ecuador will be even more spectacular when exploring it by bike! Don’t think about it, come with us and we will provide you with the best equipment. After the bike ride, we will also experience Limpiopungo Lagoon and learn the reason why Cotopaxi means Moon’s Throne. This is mainly a hiking tour trip combined with an OPTIONAL downhill biking portion. We will spend the night at a hotel in Machachi Town. Please contact us for additional information!
