Itinerario
En la frontera de la provincia de Pichincha, se encuentra el Parque Nacional Cotopaxi, una reserva ecológica que combina el paisaje del páramo andino, el suelo volcánico y la laguna que emerge de las montañas nevadas. Su principal atractivo es el volcán que lleva su nombre, que en español significa "cuello de luna" debido a la forma cónica del cráter. La elevación del volcán es de 5,897 metros sobre el nivel del mar y es la segunda más alta del país. Los visitantes pueden descubrir diferentes especies de plantas y animales como: lobos, conejos, osos, cóndores y entre otros que viven en ese territorio. Visite el Centro de Interpretación: toda la información sobre el Parque Nacional Cotopaxi está disponible en el Centro de Interpretación, o más conocido como el Museo del Parque. El centro cuenta con salas de exposiciones, una tienda de recuerdos y una cafetería. Se encuentra dentro de la estación Mariscal Sucre (o entrada de Control Caspi). Camine hasta el refugio José Rivas (4864 msnm): desde los años 70, este refugio ha sido un lugar acogedor para los montañeros y aficionados profesionales que visitan el volcán Cotopaxi. Su nombre es en honor al sacerdote José Ribas que lo construyó con el Club de Montañismo de la Preparatoria San Gabriel. Este lugar está ubicado en las laderas del volcán ya una hora a pie del estacionamiento.

Wonderful Cotopaxi excursion from Quito! I had a wonderful experience on this 1-day excursion to Cotopaxi. A big thank you to Pamela, our excellent guide, and Andrés, our driver. They were both professional, friendly, and very helpful throughout the day. The stops at the Cotopaxi Museum and Laguna Limpiopungo were great for helping us acclimate to the altitude before the hike. Pamela gave us helpful tips for the hike and shared interesting information about Ecuador along the way. And the lunch was delicious! For only $5, we had soup, an entrada, dessert, and fresh juice. Such a great value! I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Quito. It was a beautiful and memorable way to experience Cotopaxi and the incredible landscapes of Ecuador! 🇪🇨
This was the perfect day trip to Cotopaxi!!! Jorge was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide + Jonathan was a skilled driver. The group was so nice — you know a trip is good when there are many Latin Americans, even Ecuadorians, who sign up! We had a good amount of stops for food, bathroom & information. Driving through the park is serene. You can hike to the refuge or choose to stay closer to the bottom, which makes this trip very accessible. Even if you are nervous about the hike, I recommend this trip as you will be supported and still can enjoy it without the ascent. I am so glad I went and recommend it to all as as go-to day trip from Quito!
One of the best experiences in Ecuador, the best guide Jorge!
The experience was great, the guide Jorge was professional and would have provided a lot of emotional value, the scenery in Cotopaxi is very nice, especially on sunny days, it's beautiful! It's a very nice day and it deserves to be part of!
Great time, Diana was a super passionate and fun guide. Highly recommend
Excellent, recommended. Our guide Pamela was very helpful, perfect English and Spanish. Motivating to keep moving forward. The strategic stops and the places we went to eat, we not only enjoyed lunch, but also the views of the volcanoes. I would do it again!! The logistics were super!! The driver also drove well. And the minibus was comfortable.
Having gone on a couple of day trips from Quito with different companies I can say that this one had the best guide and driver. Diana was full of energy and information and made the trip safe and fun. She was great and we were fortunate to have full summit views of Cotopaxi for most of the day. She also did a good job of letting us hike at our own pace while keeping track of a diverse group at a pretty high altitude. Thank you, Diana and Andres (driver). Worth knowing this trip is for a diverse group of travellers - not avid hikers or nature lovers. If I did it all again, I might look for a trip that was focused on more time hiking different trails in the park, but that is just a personal preference.
Very well-organized excursion with a very professional and very attentive guide. Dani gave us a lot of information and was attentive to ensuring the excursion was a nice experience.
It was an excellent experience and an easy way to get to know the high mountains without needing practice. I recommend going up in light hiking boots so as not to pick up so many stones on the way down and also wearing pants with elastic on the outside of the boots. Finally, for the lunch you order, I recommend that it be a hamburger or something that is difficult to prepare poorly, because since it is so touristy, many people arrive to have lunch at the same time.
The guide Diana and the driver Jimmy were excellent. We would have liked to reach the snow line. But the other landscapes are beautiful
