Good trip although we had great weather. 1.2km hike up to the refuge and then same distance back down again with a couple of other stops included.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your Cotopaxi day tour and were fortunate to have such great weather. The hike to the José Rivas Refuge and back can certainly be a rewarding challenge at that altitude, and we’re happy you had the opportunity to enjoy the incredible scenery along the way.
It’s also great to hear that you enjoyed the additional stops included in the day. Cotopaxi has so much more to offer than just the hike, and we love giving our guests the chance to experience the different landscapes and learn more about this remarkable area.
Thank you for choosing CarpeDM Adventures. We hope to welcome you back to Ecuador for another adventure in the future!

Clear sky morning
I was lucky to see the volcano in full view in the morning on our arrival before the clouds started moving in. The landscapes in Cotopaxi are stunning. My guide was very knowlegable about the mountains, volcanoes, bird & wildlife in general and I appreciated him sharing details of the place. I also enjoyed the visit to the interpretive centre. For future visitors perhaps also consider climbing one of the other volcanoes/ mountains in the area like Antisana.

It sounds like you were very lucky to arrive with such a clear view of Cotopaxi before the clouds began to roll in. The landscapes around the volcano really are spectacular, and seeing Cotopaxi in full view is certainly a memorable moment.
We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed learning from your guide about the surrounding mountains and volcanoes, as well as the birds and wildlife of the area. Sharing that broader knowledge helps bring the landscape to life and gives our guests a deeper appreciation of the incredible environment they are exploring.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the visit to the interpretive centre. And thank you for your suggestion about exploring other mountains in the region such as Antisana. Ecuador has an amazing variety of high-altitude landscapes and volcanoes, each with its own character and challenges, so there is certainly plenty more to discover beyond Cotopaxi!
Thank you for choosing CarpeDM Adventures and for sharing your recommendation. We hope you have the opportunity to explore more of Ecuador’s mountains on a future visit!

Enduring Cotopaxi!
The Cotopaxi volcano quest can only be described in 3 words: Intense, challenging, and rewarding. We climbed to the initial lodge at 4900 meters and decided to go ahead up to the glaciers at 5250m. It's definitely one of those things that requires a lot of physical endurance and motivation.
The fee for admission, $65, was definitely well worth. The trip included transport from one of 2 hotels all the way to Cotopaxi, lunch, view of the lagoon, a guide up the mountain, a tour of the museum, and dropoff at secret garden—its about a day trip!
Our guide, Medardo, a local, always made sure that nobody was left behind, he had a friendly demeanor, and was always energetic. I would most definitely recommend him for anyone wanting to scale Cotopaxi!

Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review of your Cotopaxi experience!
We’re delighted to hear that you found the Cotopaxi Volcano Quest intense, challenging, and ultimately so rewarding. Reaching the refuge at around 4,900 metres and then continuing up towards the glaciers at 5,250 metres is a serious achievement, and it certainly takes both physical endurance and determination. We’re glad you decided to take on the extra challenge and make the most of your day on the mountain.
We’re also happy to hear that you felt the experience offered great value, from the transportation and mountain experience to the lagoon, museum visit, lunch, and drop-off afterwards.
Most importantly, we’re thrilled that Medardo helped make the experience such a positive one. His local knowledge, energy, and friendly attitude are exactly what we want from our guides, and making sure nobody is left behind is especially important on a challenging high-altitude day like Cotopaxi. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him.
Thank you for choosing CarpeDM Adventures and for recommending Medardo. We hope you leave Ecuador with many more rewarding adventures and memories!

So glad I went with these guys!
Amazing, beautiful time with Alejandro climbing up Cotopaxi! He gave us tons of information about the surrounding volcanoes, he patiently stayed with me as I struggled up the mountain, he gave us local artisanal chocolate!! Lunch was the best I had eaten so far on my travels in Ecuador, no joke, that soup and appetizer were unbelievable. And the SURPRISE we got after lunch was sooo fun. CarpeDM really takes care of their guests, ten out of ten!

Excellent Cotapaxi tour
Had a wonderful experience on the one day Cotapaxi tour and this was one of the best priced tour companies available. Went in a small group of 3 which was perfect. We stopped for photos in front of the mountain before doing a short (but steep) hike up to the refuge for hot chocolate, with the option to hike up further. The bike ride is on a mountain bike down uncorrugated roads. Lunch was great and the tour company also gave us a souvenir at the end of our trip. Our guide Alejandro was a great operator. He was funny and full of great information about the history of the volcano, animals and flora and Ecuador in general, and made sure we had enough time to enjoy the experience as well as getting us home on time.

Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review!
We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day exploring Cotopaxi with us, and that the small group made the experience even more enjoyable. We believe smaller groups allow our guides to give guests more personal attention while still sharing the adventure with others.
It’s great to know you enjoyed the hike to the refuge, the mountain bike descent, the lunch, and the little souvenir at the end of the day. We’re also pleased that Alejandro’s knowledge, humor, and enthusiasm added so much to your experience. His passion for sharing the history of Cotopaxi, Ecuador’s wildlife and flora, and the wider culture of the country is something we really value.
We’re especially glad that you felt you had enough time to enjoy the different experiences while still getting back to Quito on schedule. Finding that balance is an important part of creating a great day tour.
Thank you for choosing CarpeDM Adventures and for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Ecuador soon!

Great guide for a great hike
I did this Cotopaxi hike solo and Alejandro was a terrific guide. He was thoughtful and attentive and I loved getting to talk with him about all things Ecuador. I definitely recommend him as a guide, and the company itself!
