Reiseverlauf
Der Cotopaxi-Nationalpark ist ein Schutzgebiet in Ecuador. Der Vulkan Cotopaxi, ein nahezu perfekter Schneekegel auf einer Höhe von 5.897 Metern, ist etwas Einzigartiges auf dem Planeten.
Cotopaxi-Lagunen-Nationalpark Der Cotopaxi-Nationalpark beherbergt einige Seensysteme wie die Limpiopungo-Lagune. Von der Lagune aus ist es möglich, die Spuren zu beobachten, die die antiken Vulkanausbrüche des majestätischen Cotopaxi hinterlassen haben. Dieselbe Aktivität, die zur Entstehung der Limpiopungo-Lagune geführt hat.
Alle Informationen über den Cotopaxi-Nationalpark erhalten Sie im Interpretationszentrum, das besser als Parkmuseum bekannt ist. Es beherbergt Ausstellungshallen, einen Souvenirladen und ein Café.
Während der Tour passieren wir Andenstädte wie Pujilí, Tigua und Zumbahua, Gemeinden mit einem starken indigenen Erbe der Panzaleo, deren Wurzeln bis in die Inka-Zeit zurückreichen. Diese Städte zeichnen sich durch ihre angestammten Traditionen, ihr authentisches Alltagsleben und die Landschaften aus, die die lebendige Geschichte des ecuadorianischen Hochlands widerspiegeln und so einen wertvollen kulturellen Beitrag zu diesem Naturerlebnis leisten.
Die Quilotoa ist eine der 15 schönsten Lagunen vulkanischen Ursprungs der Welt, aufgrund ihrer smaragdgrünen Farbe und der unterschiedlichen Farbtöne aufgrund der in ihrem Wasser gelösten Mineralien.

First, the driver was vey careful. (One tour we had the driver was a maniac). We were picked up right on time and the drive to Cotopaxi went smoothly with plenty of bathroom breaks. The tour guide was knowledgeable, especially about the fauna and flora around the volcano. They stopped whenever we asked for a photo shoot and never rushed us. The lagoon was stunning. We went for a shortish walk along the crater edge. So impressive. It was nice that lunch was provided in what looked to be a popular restaurant right by the lagoon. The whole tour took over 12 hours and we saw a lot in that time. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're especially pleased to hear that you felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the day, from the drive to the pace of the experience itself. Cotopaxi offers some truly spectacular landscapes, and we're glad you had the opportunity to enjoy them without feeling rushed. It’s wonderful to know that the guide’s knowledge and the flexibility of the day helped make the experience even more memorable. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing to explore Ecuador with us.
Jossua was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw the beautiful Cotopaxi volcano and walked around the lagoon. We ate lunch at Quilatoa and then walked around the lake. We got to try some local food and interact with locals. We would definitely recommend Jossua as your guide!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Cotopaxi and Quilotoa make an incredible combination, and we're delighted you had the opportunity to enjoy both in a single day. We're especially pleased to hear that Jossua's knowledge and helpfulness enhanced your journey. Experiencing local food and connecting with local communities are some of the most rewarding parts of traveling, and we're glad those moments made your day even more memorable. Thank you for your recommendation!
Had a amazing time seeing the stunning landscapes of Ecuador. My guide Jossua was very knowledgeable, friendly, and hospitable. One of the best guides I've ever had. A truly unique experience. Cotopaxi and Quilotoa are very impressive to see in person

A day full of adventures! The landscapes are incredible. We were able to see the Quilotoa volcano and lagoon. We enjoyed a delicious Andean menu. A highly recommended tour!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes of Quilotoa and the Andean flavors of our menu. It’s wonderful to know your day was full of adventure—your recommendation means a lot to us!
We visited the Cotopaxi National Park and Quilotoa Crater Lagoon but our views were restricted due to rain on our tour day. Our stop at Cotopaxi was very far from the summit. It would have been nice to drive closer to the volcano. It was interesting to see the countryside during the drive to the sites – hundreds of greenhouses for cultivating roses, farms that span to the tops of the mountains, and Andean indigenous villages. The tour to both locations required driving from the Eastern Andes to the Western Andes resulting in a long day riding in a car. Lunch was provided in a local restaurant and was delicious authentic Andean cuisine. Our guide (not sure of his name) didn’t provide much information about where we were travelling. He answered questions when asked. At the end of our ride he provided some information about Quito and some places to visit in the city. His driver was very pleasant and accommodating.
We regret that the weather conditions did not allow you to fully enjoy the views at Cotopaxi National Park. In the Andean region, the weather can change suddenly, and on rainy or cloudy days visibility is often limited. We always prioritize the safety and well-being of our passengers, so every decision during the tour is made according to the conditions at the moment. We appreciate that you highlighted the Andean countryside landscapes and the local culinary experience, which are an important part of the journey. We also value your observation regarding the information shared during the drive. Providing enriching experiences is very important to us, and your comments help us continue improving our service. We hope to welcome you again and that on a future visit we can enjoy better weather conditions for an even more memorable experience.
While the drive is long, it’s a beautiful, scenic ride through the mountains and small villages. Quilotoa was amazing and worth seeing. Cotopaxi was a little cloudy and we could only see a portion of the volcano but we still enjoyed visiting. Our guide Luis was friendly, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to, which was nice given the time we spent in the car. Would recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenic drive through the mountains and villages—it's truly part of the experience. Even with some clouds at Cotopaxi, we’re happy to hear you still had a great visit and found Quilotoa amazing and worth it. Luis will be delighted to know you appreciated his friendliness and knowledge, especially during the longer drive. We truly value your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Ecuador.
Jhonathan was our guide and he came 20 mins earlier than pickup time. He went out of his way to find a pharmacy for us to buy high elevation pills. When we started our journey, he pointed out landmarks along the way. We hiked at the Cotopaxi base lagoon and then drove to Quilotoa crater, where he pointed out feral and local dogs waiting on the highway for cars to throw food to them. On the way back, we stopped at a road stand and tried popsicles with 4 flavors of fruits, for 55cents each. It was a satisfying, full day.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed experience! We’re happy to hear Jhonathan went the extra mile, from arriving early to assisting with the pharmacy stop and sharing local insights along the way. Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and those small local treats truly make the day special. We’re glad you had a full and satisfying experience with us.

We would not recommend this tour. We spent over 9 hours in a car and unfortunately, only saw Quilotoa. This was due to weather. We thought that all admissions, were included however we had to pay the admission into Quilotoa. Water was to also stated to be included, and when asked for we were given a bottle that had already been drank from. We then had to buy water at a rest stop. Young adult that was the driver was great, however we were not impressed with the actual tour guide. He seemed to be more interested in getting thru the day, than providing us with a good tour. Lunch was included, but consisted of a bowl of local soup. The soup was good, however a piece of bread and a refreshment with it would have been nice.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations and we apologize for any inconvenience. We have photographic records confirming entry to Cotopaxi National Park, the visit to Limpiopungo Lagoon, and that due to weather conditions approximately 50% of the volcano was visible. All admissions included in the tour were purchased in advance; the additional payment corresponded to an activity not included in the booked itinerary, carried out by the passenger’s choice. The tour had a total duration of approximately 8 hours, distributed as follows: 1.5 hours inside Cotopaxi National Park, 2 hours at Quilotoa Lagoon, 1 hour for lunch, and the remaining time for transfers, all in line with the information provided in the itinerary. Our service is checked before each departure, including both the vehicle and the beverages. Lunch was a local food tasting, served according to the selection made at the time. It is very important that any concerns be communicated during the tour so they can be addressed immediately and to avoid later misunderstandings, especially considering that the service took place several months ago. We appreciate your feedback and take it as an opportunity to improve.
