Resplan
Vi kommer att köra förbi den verkliga Avenue of the Volcanoes noterade på Gps som Avenida de los Volcanes. På vägen stannar vi till vid en bensinmack för att använda toaletter och köpa något till lunch samt tillräckligt med vatten och eventuella snacks som behövs för dagen. Vi kommer att köra i mitten av följande vulkaner (Pasochoa / Rumiñahui och Sincholagua) tills vi anländer till Cotopaxi vulkan.
När vi anländer till denna entré grind, kommer du att ha möjlighet att köpa koka blad påsar eller koka godis för att hjälpa till med höjdproblem, också lämplig plats att köpa handskar, hattar, ponchos gjorda av en lokalbo. Genom att gå in på denna mindre turistiska sida undviker vi också att missa tid genom att göra linje för att checka in med park rangers gate.
Väl inne i nationalparken börjar vi med ridupplevelsen. Gör dig redo med den medföljande utrustningen som hjälm och poncho. Och sedan tar vi av längs denna mindre besökta sida av nationalparken med fantastiska vyer och möjligheter att ansluta till moder natur. Under hästryggen kan du lämna alla de saker eller tillhörigheter som inte behövs vid transporten vi använder den dagen. Efter att ha kommit tillbaka från ridturen kommer vi att gå till parkeringsplatsen som ligger på 15000 fot eller (4600 meter) varifrån vi börjar vandringen till Refugio José Rivas (Basecamp).
Vi kommer att köra i ca 30 minuter efter ridturen från 12000 fot till 15000 fot där vi kommer att parkera och börja 1,5 mil vandring till Basecamp. Fantastisk upplevelse och utsikt. Som att vara på en annan planet.
Vi åker från turistsidan tillbaka till Quito.

We had an awesome experience with Jorge. We were so excited to ride horses around Cotopaxi. The horse are well taken care of and they were easy to ride. The trek was very peaceful and beautiful. After we went on a hike around the lagoon limpiopungo lagoon at 12000 feet lower part of the volcano. And we are happy we chose that option so we know what to expect when we come back to trek up to the base. Jorge was very knowledgeable, friendly. We would be reaching out again for a future tour.
Really appreciate your review about your experience with us Vicky. It was a pleasure to spend this day with you guys. Hope to see you again back to your home land Ecuador. Hugs for my amigo grande Ryan alias el 'RompeCaballos'. Safe travels amigos.
Our experience at Cotopaxi with Jorge exceeded all expectations. Cotopaxi is an absolute must do when visiting Ecuador!! The scenery is breathtaking, and the whole experience is unforgettable. From pick-up to drop-off, everything was well organised, communication was excellent, and we felt like we were in great hands throughout the day. The horseback ride was a real highlight, with well cared for horses and patient, helpful guides who made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of experience. We would highly recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!
Hey chicas! Was a pleasure to spend this adventure with you guys! You were awesome hikers too! We had so much fun up there on the highest active Volcano in South America. Safe travels girls!
The drive out isn't so long, so that's great. The horseback ride was fun. It was beautiful although very cloudy so we couldn't see much. The hike to base camp was difficult but if you slow it's okay. Again, so cloudy but still amazing. You can eat some soup and have tea at base camp if you don't want to haul lunch with you. Expect to pay $.50 every time you have to use the bathroom 😂. The guide, Dario, was nice and attentive.
Thanks for your review Justin. Really appreciate your support to our small community business project as well as your time to deliver a review. Happy to hear from you about your experience with us. Safe travels amigo.
Great way to experience Cotopaxi! The horseback ride was amazing. When we went to hike, there was freezing rain and fierce winds. We wished we had known beforehand to bring appropriate layers of trekking gear. Also, hand sanitizer and coins to use the toilet come in handy. Some braved the cold wet weather and hiked, while many stayed on the bus. Despite the weather, this is a very good tour to see the natural beauty of the national park.
Thanks for the review. We will add the notes you mentioned about bring small change for bathrooms stop and hands sanitizer. Regarding gear..we recommend on the automatic message the extra layers or rain jacket and stuff. Safe travels.
Going the less common way into and up Cotopaxi was well worth the trip. Just make sure you are ready for the sudden season change!
Thanks for your review Paul. We had quite an adventure. You did great and thanks for your support to our small business.
What an amazing day! I would 100% recommend this tour — from start to finish it was extremely well organized. I felt looked after, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming! I have very little experience with horses, but I felt very comfortable. The tour up the mountain was beautiful, and I was able to set the pace (I never felt rushed in the slightest). 10/10 day! I would absolutely do it again!
Thanks for booking this experience with our small business Mica. Really appreciate your support by doing it. Happy to hear from you about your experience with us. You were a machine at the hiking portion! Congratulations! Keep having a great time in Ecuador.
Wow. What an experience. Our driver and guide gracefully led us through a very challenging adventure to the base camp of Cotopaxi. We rode beautiful horses, bounced our way up to the clouds, fought the wind and learned so much during our day trip. Thank you for the extra gloves and encouragement along the way!
Really appreciate your review Elizabeth. Happy to hear from you about your experience with Dario. We work with locals who don't care about hiking to Cotopaxi or taking longer time along the way while come city guides from Quito prefer to return at first opportunity. That's why our high percentage rate of success to reach Basecamp.
Great experience! Dario was very informative and helpful. Definitely recommend! Did this as a solo traveler and never felt out of place. 10/10
Really appreciate your review Andrea. Happy to hear from you about your experience with Dario. We try to do our best during every single new departure. Safe travels and thanks for booking this experience with us.
What an adventure. From pick up to drop off, our guide Adrian exceeded expectations with his attention, knowledge, and flexibility. He was attentive and shared cultural and nature facts allowing us to connect with our experience. Suited up in waterproof ponchos and cowhide chaps, we saddled up and took in the beauty of Cotopaxi and surround areas on horseback. We had planned to hike to Cotopaxi’s base camp but the combination of the 60 mph winds and our less than ideal attire, we opted to trek around Limpiopungo Lagoon where we took in spectacular views of Cotopaxi. Overall, it was an amazing experience. *if you are considering the hike to the Cotapaxi base camp, know that hiking boots/shoes, long waterproof hiking pants with under layers, layers of shirts under a waterproof jacket, buffs for neck that covers ears and face, warm hat that is secure (mine somehow was pulled off from under my rain jacket and flew over the cliffs edge), and sunglasses. Expect to get wet and struggle against the wind and altitude.
Thanks for your advising and detailed review. This is a very useful information for potential new participants. The transition from rainy season to summer time always brings some unpredictable weather conditions. But nothing thag proper equipment and one of our warrior guides can't defeat haha. Thanks again for supporting our small community business project and safe travels amigos.
Our experience at Cotopaxi exceeded our expectations. We felt safe throughout the tour. The view of Cotopaxi was breathtaking. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour truly amazing.
Thanks for your review Jesie. Happy to hear from you about your experience with our local guide Pauli. Hope to see you back to Ecuador soon.
