Amazing experience.
I loved the experience at Cotopaxi! The landscape is beautiful and the tour was super organized. Jhonatan was very attentive all the time, explained various things about the place and even helped to take beautiful photos. It was a very cool day, I felt super comfortable and had a lot of fun. I recommend. 😊
