Itinéraire
Prise en charge directe depuis votre auberge ou hôtel à Quito pour commencer le voyage à Cotopaxi. L'heure de prise en charge sera confirmée par chat.
Un arrêt rapide à Machachi où vous pourrez prendre quelques collations ou utiliser les toilettes avant de vous rendre directement au parc national Cotopaxi.
Notre premier arrêt est le lagon à couper le souffle Limpiopungo, un lac glaciaire niché à la base du volcan Cotopaxi — parfait pour des photos magnifiques! Vous visiterez également le Centre d’interprétation, un petit musée informatif où vous découvrirez la faune, la géologie et l’histoire uniques du parc.
Ensuite, préparez-vous pour une randonnée vivifiante au refuge José Rivas, situé à 4 864 mètres d'altitude. La randonnée dure environ une heure — n’oubliez pas de vous habiller chaudement et d’être prêt pour l’altitude... et oui, vous voudrez prendre une photo !
Après la randonnée, nous nous arrêterons pour déjeuner dans un restaurant local. Votre guide vous proposera quelques bonnes recommandations, et des options végétariennes sont disponibles. (Note: le déjeuner n'est pas inclus dans le prix de l'excursion.) Puis continuez votre voyage à Quito.
Vous serez de retour à Quito vers 20h00. Nous vous déposerons à votre hôtel/auberge à Quito, tant qu'il se trouve dans nos zones de prise en charge/dépose.

Everything was perfect. Friendly and helpful guide, on-time pick up, nice day! Thank you so much!
Daniel took great care of a mixed group. He was respectful of both Spanish and English speakers. We made a few good stops along the way which made a 2 hour trip go quickly. The hike, although short, was strenuous. One starts at 14,000’ and walk up to 15,000 in about a mile. The Refugio is quite authentic. One can imagine the brave climbers who summit 19,000’ Cotopaxi! The refugio also provides warm drinks and soup.
Hi JC! Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re really happy to hear Daniel took such great care of the group and made the experience enjoyable for both English and Spanish speakers. We’ll make sure to pass your kind words on to him! Cotopaxi is definitely a challenging hike because of the altitude, so congratulations on making it to the refugio. We’re glad you enjoyed the stops along the way and the overall experience. Thanks again for traveling with us!
Although I had booked the tour months in advance and it was also confirmed by the organizer, it was simply cancelled the night before due to lack of capacity. This is quite outrageous as I only had 2 days in Quito and then had to travel on.
Irene was friendly and informative. She let us know up front how the trip was going to proceed, let us know where we would be stopping and why. Irene is fluent in English and Spanish and made sure that all participants understood what she said. The hike up to the staging area is very challenging. There are 2 paths you can take and she explained the differences. She made sure that all who participated in the hike were safe and able to complete the hike.
Hi Carl! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear Irene helped make the experience smooth and enjoyable by keeping everyone informed throughout the trip and making sure both English and Spanish speakers could follow everything clearly. The Cotopaxi hike is definitely challenging, so we’re glad you felt safe and well guided along the way. Thanks again for joining us and sharing your experience!
It was such a good experience! Our guide was super interactive, friendly, and always telling jokes. We did everything on the itinerary, and the experience also included learning about some local plants and lots about the local geography/mountains/volcanoes. Definitely recommend
Hi! Thank you so much for your review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a great experience and enjoyed the fun atmosphere throughout the trip. It’s great to know the guide helped make the day entertaining while also sharing information about the local plants, geography, and volcanoes along the way. We really appreciate the recommendation and thanks again for joining us!
It was an amazing experience. The scenery had me speechless. The climb was a little hard, but worth the views.
Very high altitude, over 15,000 ft. Hard to breathe for seniors. Air is very thin in this region. Good pictures.
Great trip, challenging hike up to the Cotopaxi base camp at altitude. Two meals both at good value before and after. I recommend.
Hi! Thank you for your review! Cotopaxi is definitely a challenging hike, so we’re glad you enjoyed the experience and found the meals good value. We really appreciate the recommendation! Thanks again!
This was a great day with Adrian and Ivan. Everything was well organised and Adrian was really supportive on the hike, making sure everyone made it at their own pace.
My parents and sister went on this hike and reported that they had a great time and met some interesting people. They were not able to make the hike to the base camp due to challenges with the altitude (it is no joke!); but, found Cotopaxi and the surrounding highlands beautiful and enjoyed the tour.
