Cotopaxi & Baños Volledige dagtour vanuit Quito Adventure in de Andes

We had an exceptional experience! Andrés was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. He made the tour informative and enjoyable, sharing fascinating insights that made the experience truly unforgettable. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had made a new friend! He even went out of his way to help me with shopping, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Our driver was also excellent—experienced, professional, and focused on our safety throughout the journey. We felt completely at ease and were able to relax and enjoy every moment. Together, Andrés and our driver made a fantastic team. I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was so awesome. He was patient and flexible with our schedule. We saw so much and learned about the ecosystem in ecuador.

Amazing tour, Andres the guide was very knowleadgeable and made sure I was fine. Also Jimmy the driver did a great job, driving safely and was very attentive (e.g. opened the windows so I could take pictures and spotted wildlife). They really want you to enjoy the tour and give you the best experience! Best tour I did in 2 months in south america, highly recommend!

Unforgettable private day at Cotopaxi - Baños with Ayrton. The private transfer from Quito was punctual and comfortable. The day was really nice, flexible and many experiences. It was especially nice that we could enjoy nature and the delicious ice cream away from the large groups.

What a day I spent with Andres as my tour guide and Santiago as my trusted driver from Quito to Cotopaxi , Banos and back to Quito. We had a glorious, unobstructed view of the peak and could even see the base camp in the distance. Andres was able to name all the volcanoes and explained the pairing of the male/ female . We then went to the nearby lagoon and saw aquatic birds and native plants. Andres knew so many different plant based natural treatments, especially for altitude sickness. We took the cable car over the Rio Blanco. The Devil’s Cauldron was another highlight! We continued our journey and had lunch at a beautiful clifftop restaurant where the hospitality and views were unmatched. We went to “The End of the World” which was really much more than the swing … I had a very helpful employee who made sure I went way higher than I would have gone on my own power and it definitely brought out my inner child. The area is beautifully landscaped and worth the visit. I learned a lot about Ecuador , its history, its flora and fauna and Andres was the perfect guide. He answered my many questions and always checked to make sure if I needed anything . Highly recommended!! It was the perfect day- from the weather , the sights, the food and my tour and guides- A+!

This tour was simply spectacular. From the start, the organization was impeccable: punctuality, a friendly and knowledgeable guide, and a super safe environment throughout the tour. In Cotopaxi, we visited Laguna de Limpiopungo, a truly beautiful place. Although we couldn't see the volcano because of the fog, the landscape around the lagoon was breathtaking: pure nature, tranquility, and views that were worth every minute of the trip. The guide shared some very interesting facts that made the hike even more special. Then we continued on to Baños, where we had an adventure-filled experience with unique landscapes. The waterfalls, the Pailón del Diablo, and the viewpoints were the best part of the day. There was time for photos, local recommendations, and enjoying ourselves at our own pace. I recommend it 100% to anyone who wants to enjoy the best of Ecuador in a single day. I was delighted!

I had a wonderful tour with my excellent guide, Andrés, and our great driver, Jimmy! Andrés speaks perfect English and was very easy to understand and talk to. He was good at explaining the area and answering questions. He made sure to give me plenty of time at each destination, which was very important to me since this was my only day in Ecuador. He picked me up from my hotel on time and led me to a great place for lunch. I was traveling solo, and Andrés was kind and friendly the whole day. I would recommend anyone ask for him when booking this tour. Jimmy was a safe driver too! I really enjoyed this tour, and hope everyone coming to Quito gets to do it. This tour is especially good because it allows you to see both Cotopaxi and Baños areas in the same day, which other tours do not. Thank you, Andrés, for a marvelous 5-star experience!

What a fabulous day! Our guide, Pedro Toaquiza, was terrific! My daughter, whose been working in Ecuador for a few months, was keen for me to see as much of the amazing Ecuadorian landscape/ecosystem (which ranges from snowcapped volcanos to Amazonian jungle) as possible during my short visit, so we booked this one day tour to see as much as we can. Communication with the company was good and we were able to arrange a vegan meal (lunch is included) for my daughter at the designated restaurant near Baños. They also advised us of what clothing to bring as the climate, altitude, and weather can readily change. Not going to lie, it is a long day! This tour is advertised as about 10 hrs, but it can be closer to 12hrs factoring in road or weather delays. Pedro arrived to pick us up just before our scheduled 7:30am collection. Our first stop was Cotopaxi National Park—about 1-1.5 hrs away. En route, Pedro pointed out all the other volcanos within sight. (There are 84 within 3 hrs of Quito.) It was a very cloudy day and he warned that sometimes you can’t see the volcano well, but the clouds cleared enough to see this beautiful volcano and Stone Face mountain. After a nature walk by the lagoon, we set off toward Baños, which is at the edge of the Amazon region, about 2-2.5hrs from Cotopaxi. Nearing the Baños, an accident on the road (about 15 miles from the town) caused a traffic back-up on the 2 lane highway, but Pedro made a swift detour onto the local road cutting through the valley, which may have been a bit slower (but not slower than not moving on the road above) and provided an extra bit of scenic beauty and adventure to get us to town. My daughter and I had a quick walk through town, before meeting back up with Pedro to head up the mountain to the restaurant for the 2 course (soup/main) lunch. Nice food and the views were incredible! From there we went to the Tree House/la casa del arbol. A bit of an uphill walk, but the tree house was less impressive than the beautiful garden (with mountain-side swings and a zip line) surrounding it. Hummingbirds flit around the exotic flowers—and the views! Incredible! Then it was off to see waterfalls. We stopped at a couple of waterfalls along the road (including a ride on a cable car for a closer look) then went to our final stop—Cascada el Pailon (Bridal Veil Fall and the Devil’s Cauldron) on the Rio Verde. Here, you really get a sense of being on the edge of the Amazon. The power of this waterfall (even during the dry season) is amazing. We hiked to various viewing points, traversing suspension bridges. Some points were a bit wet and steep—there are good railings and steps, but a sturdy shoe would be worthwhile for the closer views. After this, we were ready for the 3hr drive back to Quito. Pedro was a wonderful guide, lovely company, and safe driver. (I’d recommend bringing tissues and quarters to cover any rest stops.)
