Cotopaxi Experience

Hike in the fresh clean air around the almost perfect snow-capped volcanic cone of Cotopaxi, the world's highest active volcano (5897m) and one of only a few equatorial glaciers on earth. Ride a horse or a mountain bike through the dramatic landscape. Or get up close on a hike to the mountain's highest refuge, on the edge of the glacier at a breathtaking 4800m. Stunning scenery, crisp mountain air, and just a short drive from Quito.

Day 1 Quito

You'll be picked up for a stunning ride along the “Avenue of the Volcanoes” to the snowcapped Cotopaxi Volcano at 5,897 metres. Situated in the Cotopaxi National Park amid Andean vistas, it is considered the highest active volcano in the world. The Cotopaxi Volcano is still technically active, but that doesn't stop travellers from participating in a wide variety of optional activities here walk and hike at your own pace to a refuge on the glacier’s edge for spectacular views. Afterwards it’s off to your hacienda near the park for overnight.

Day 2 Quito (B)

Enjoy hiking around for the best possible view, horseback riding, or exhilirating mountain biking. You will enjoy the fresh air, stunning views and relaxing environment before transfer back to Quito.
