Excellent Tour of Cotopaxi National Park

We really enjoyed our tour to Cotopaxi National Park, including a hike to José Rivas refuge, a scenic walk around the Limpiopungo lagoon and a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant. The tour organization was outstanding, very responsive and clear in communication. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and made us feel welcome. Special thanks to our driver, Javier, for skillful navigation and excellent time management.

Great guide, great trip

Jonathon and his driver were brilliant on our trip to Cotopaxi. J stopped to show us the mountains just as the mist cleared for a few moments, just so beautiful. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Ecuador and very supportive during the climb. Communication was good. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your Cotopaxi experience with Jonathon and the driver 😊 The Andes can create truly magical moments, and it’s wonderful that you were able to see the mountains just as the mist opened up ✨ We truly appreciate your kind words about the guidance, support, and communication throughout the day. Thank you as well for your recommendation — it means a lot to us 😊

Unforgettable Cotopaxi adventure

Our day with Jeff at Cotopaxi National Park was unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up from our Airbnb, he treated us like family—warm, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. On the way, Jeff checked if we’d eaten, stopped for breakfast, and introduced us to colada morada, a traditional drink served only during the Day of the Dead season. It was such a special local touch that made the day feel authentic and personal. Throughout the drive and hike, Jeff shared fascinating stories about Quito’s history, the native wildlife, and the unique plants of the Andes. As we climbed toward the José Rivas Refuge, he encouraged us every step of the way, carried a pack when needed, and gently helped my mom up and down the mountain. On the return, he even suggested a fantastic local spot for lunch with authentic Ecuadorian cuisine—a perfect way to end an incredible adventure. Jeff’s knowledge, care, and kindness made the entire experience feel like exploring with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you are considering a Cotopaxi experience choose this one with Jeff!

Operator response

Jeff’s care and guidance make every moment special, and we’re so glad you felt like part of the Traveler’s Magic family. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more magical experiences in Ecuador! 🇪🇨✨
