Itinerary
Early in the morning we head towards the south of the city through the Avenue of the Volcanoes, so called because, if the weather allows us, we will be able to observe hills and volcanoes such as Pasochoa, Corazón, Ilinizas among others until we reach the Cotopaxi National Park, where we will visit the Interpretation Center, here our guide will explain and answer all your questions about the highest active volcano in the world.
We continue to visit the Limpiopungo Lagoon and take an interesting walk to observe birds and plants that have adapted to these cold climates. On the way back our transportation will be waiting for you to visit a rose plantation and see how the best flowers in the world are produced.
At the end of this colorful stop our guide will suggest sites and allow time for lunch. In the afternoon return to Quito and our guide will drop you off at your hotel.

The experience of visiting Cotopaxi and the Rose production tour was good. The only problem was our reservation stated that the pickup would be at 7:30. However, our guide showed up at 8:00. He stated that he was told to be at the hotel at that time. We have had previous messages via What’s App regarding pick up time or any updates which did not occur today.
Rose Tour was brilliant, guide was asleep all the on way back after lunch all the way back to the City. Cotopaxi walk around the lagoon was ok but not what we expected (seemigly other side gives full view when weather not too bad.)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the Rose tour overall, although we regret that some aspects did not meet your expectations. We understand that weather conditions can affect the view of Cotopaxi, and we appreciate your observation about the walk around the lagoon. We also take your comment about the guide's behavior during the return trip very seriously. In order to follow up on this case and take the necessary measures, could you please help us by providing the name of the guide or, failing that, the date on which you took the tour? This will allow us to review the details in our system. We thank you again for your feedback and hope to offer you an even better experience in the future.
The guide and driver were very informative and punctual. On the way to Cotopaxi we stopped at view points and learned about the volcanos which surround Quito. We did in fact book the incorrect tour (we hoped to hike to the glacier which wasn't this tour). The guide facilitated the change without issue, organising local guides to take us to the refuge in a 4x4. *Do be aware that this tour is to the Cotopaxi Laguna and not above.* We were very happy and would certainly use this company again!
Visiting cotopaxi is impressive but you need to be lucky to see the mountain not too covered with clouds. Wind also plays its part and can be strong. There are many trails in the park so you don't have to climb too high. There are a few haciendas in the park with awesome views.
Hello Anat! We are glad that you had enjoyed the great views that of the volcano avenue, if you ever comeback just let us know. It will be a pleasure to go on a trip again with you!
