The guide was fair at best. The native guide that joined was wonderful. She was encouraging and lovely. - the tour company guide was fair! The hike was extremely rigorous and should’ve been noted in the description. The right there and back was terrible through the bumpy mountains.
Excellent tour guide. He was very informative and friendly. The climb to the middle of the volcano can be physically challenging so I don’t recommend to those with heart or breathing issues.
The tour was very good. The bus picked us up at our hotel. After getting all the guests in Quito we headed out and stopped at roadside restaurant/gas stations with bathrooms. It is helpful to bring your own toilet paper (like much of Ecuador). If not, you can buy some in the store. The park was very pretty and not very crowded. The guide was helpful and spoke both Spanish and English. Note that after you enter the park, the paved roads end and it gets very rough riding to the various locations. As always, weather is a factor the operator can't control. We had very cold conditions and very windy conditions once we got to the lake and the parking area below the refuge. The wind was abnormally strong and the altitude was high. I was unable to complete the climb to the refuge because of the weather, altitude, and general not feeling well. So, be prepared for the altitude and weather. Warm clothes are a good idea. Afterwards, we stopped at the visitor center again for a restroom break and the guide was helpful to take pictures of the mountain/volcano behind us. We had a cheap and nice lunch at a small restaurant outside the park. It's about an hour to the city and 30-40 minutes to drop everyone off. It would have been nice to have another bathroom break in between the restaurant and the hotel. So, make sure you go before you leave the restaurant. Overall it was a nice experience.
Make sure you give yourself a day or two after you arrive in Quito to do this tour. I did it within six hours of landing and the hike up to Cotopaxi was tough, but I made it and it was worth it! Make sure to drink the coca tea they offer, it helps.
One of the best tour that I ever experienced Cotopaxi National Park is one of the most interesting hikes I’ve done with the help of our very amazing and friendly guide Josh/Josie that make this trip very smooth and fun not just for is but to everyone. Thank you for sharing this experience to us we enjoy every moment of it.
I made the mistake of doing this tour the day after arriving in Quito and was hit really hard with altitude sickness but Irene was an amazing tour guide!! She was so responsive and patient and had hilarious jokes to keep us going while we were driving and climbing. Would highly recommend Irene!! 🤘
Irene was an amazing guide!! She is full of life and gave detailed information about the park. I love how passionate she was about the park and nature. The company was communicative about pick up times and Irene was able to answer any questions. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience, my partner and I took a tour to climb Cotopaxi, our guide Irene and her driver Patricio accompanied us at all times, they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, they made this route great, very attentive. At all times, Irene explained to us step by step the recommendations we should follow so that we would arrive at the refuge safe and sound; she was the last one to arrive, as if she were the captain of the ship. I really recommend it 100% always because of Irene. Without a doubt, I will repeat with more people, with my friends. Thank you
Irene was very helpful! It was a great experience. Would definitely recommend
Tour guide Irene was the best I ever met. She guided us through from picking us up at each locations, breakfast at local restaurant. And guided from parking lot to Jose Rivas refugee camp 4856 meters of Volcano Cotopaxi. It was surely great achievement that we all felt by a bunch of 16 people from all of the world. Irene was so enthusiastic and passionate about Ecuadorian culture. She made this tour so interesting and we learned a lot about the special aspects of Ecuador . Another highlight was a post hike lunch at local restaurant. It was soooo tasty . The entire experience was so special. I would never forget. Thank you Irene and driver Jonathan.
