My sister and I joined this tour to explore Cotopaxi and the beautiful natural landscapes outside Quito. Our guide and driver, Ayrton, was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. He drove us about an hour outside the city to Cotopaxi National Park. We started with a brief visit to an educational center before continuing toward the volcano. Although it was a cloudy day, we were still able to catch glimpses of the glaciers near the summit. Ayrton was great about stopping for photos and helping us spot local wildlife along the way. We then visited a nearby lagoon, where we took pictures and learned more about the area’s natural history. Next, we drove through several small towns, stopping in Tigua to visit a well-known artisan shop. From there, we continued to the Quilotoa Lagoon Reserve. We walked to the lookout point for stunning views of the lagoon, took plenty of photos, and enjoyed a short hike down into the crater before making the climb back up in time for lunch. After lunch, we began the long journey back to Quito. Despite the distance, we arrived with enough time to watch Ecuador play their FIFA World Cup match. This tour involves a full day of sightseeing and quite a bit of driving, but Ayrton made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience two of Ecuador’s most iconic natural landmarks.

Our guide was excellent. We had one get altitude sickness (we are from sea level) and they were great and stopped when we needed and helped get us what we needed. We didn’t get to do all the hiking that we wanted to but that was because of us, not the tour. Couldn’t have asked for more from the agency.

Very good day. Got lucky on weather. The sites were beautiful and Andres did a great job. Our driver, Jimmy, did a great job too. Lots of time driving but some really good scenery. Saw wild horses, llamas, white tail deer, cara cara, coots, andean gulls... Would recommend but weather could impact views

Touring with Pedro was exactly what we needed! Everything ran seamlessly. His knowledge and expertise helped us learn so much about the areas we visit and even made sure we got great photos when the clouds cleared and Cotopaxi was in full sight! We are going back to Quito next year and will absolutely be working with Pedro again!

It was a long day, a lot of driving, but both Cotopaxi and Quilotoa are amazing. Guide Ayrton was very nice and provided lot of info during the day. We visited also an Art Gallery, with beautiful hand paintings, hard to resist to not buy some.

My partner and I spent a memorable day visiting the awesome Cotopaxi Volcano National Park and the spectacular Laguna Quilotoa. What made the all-day trip so worthwhile was our engaging and personable guide Andres, who was extremely informative throughout the tour. Adding to the awesome view of the volcano was seeing condors, wild horses, and deer and feeding alpacas.The two-hour drive from Cotopaxi to Quilotoa takes a winding mountain road, but the scenery was amazing, and our driver Jimmy did a masterful job.

We had a wonderful time with our guide Rasu and driver Jimmy. Though very foggy/cloudy in the morning, we spent a bit of extra time at Cotopaxi to see it in a small period of sun. Communication confirming the tour was great and put my mind at ease
