Itinerario
El Parque Nacional Cotopaxi es un área protegida de Ecuador. El volcán Cotopaxi, un cono nevado casi perfecto que se yergue a 5.897 metros de altitud es algo único en el planeta.
Parque Nacional Cotopaxi laguna El parque nacional Cotopaxi alberga algunos sistemas lacustres como son: Laguna de Limpiopungo. Desde la Laguna es posible observar las huellas que han dejado las antiguas erupciones volcánicas del majestuoso Cotopaxi; misma actividad que ha dado lugar a la formación de la Laguna de Limpiopungo.
Toda la información sobre el Parque Nacional Cotopaxi está disponible en el Centro de Interpretación, que es mejor conocido como Museo del Parque. Cuenta con salas de exposición, una tienda de recuerdos y una cafetería.
Durante el recorrido atravesaremos pueblos andinos como Pujilí, Tigua y Zumbahua, comunidades de fuerte herencia indígena Panzaleo, con raíces que se remontan a la época inca. Estas localidades destacan por sus tradiciones ancestrales, su vida cotidiana auténtica y los paisajes que reflejan la historia viva de la sierra ecuatoriana, aportando un valioso componente cultural a esta experiencia natural.
El Quilotoa es una de las 15 lagunas de origen volcánico más hermosas del mundo, debido a su color verde esmeralda, de tonos variables por sus minerales disueltos en sus aguas.

Our guide (Javier) was really passionate and very informative! He shared so much interesting information and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit and that our guide managed to convey their passion and knowledge to you. We’d be delighted to welcome you back to Ecuador! 🇪🇨✨
We had an amazing guide, and the tour was as advertised. We did have some bad weather, at Cotopaxi and even with all the help from our guide, we couldn't get to the top! Will have to do this again, and will definitely be going with the same company! They knew exactly how to plan the private trip and worked with our schedules and found some amazing spots to eat! Highly recommend. The tour itself is fairly long, so keep that in mind when you plan.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that we were able to work around your schedule to make your day a special experience. The weather on Cotopaxi can be unpredictable, but we’d love to welcome you back to try and reach the summit. It’ll be a pleasure to accompany you again! 🇪🇨🏔️
The experience was exceptional. We saw deer on the Cotopaxi road, which is extremely rare. The guide was attentive and flexible with us. I was with my dad who has issues on the knee but none of this bothered, it is definitely a quite affordable ride.

We hope to have the pleasure of accompanying you again on another adventure through Ecuador. We’d be delighted to welcome you back!
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!

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!

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.
