Description
Set off on an exhilarating day trip to one of Ecuador's most iconic destinations—Cotopaxi National Park. Departing from Quito in the early morning, you'll leave the bustling city behind and head towards the majestic Cotopaxi Volcano. Towering at 5,897 meters, Cotopaxi is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, offering breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable experiences.
Guided by expert naturalists, your journey through the park will reveal stunning Andean scenery, from snow-capped peaks to lush paramo landscapes. As you trek through the park, you'll encounter diverse wildlife, including wild horses, alpacas, and a variety of bird species. Each step brings you closer to the volcano's impressive glacier, a sight that is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
Your adventure includes a visit to the Limpiopungo Lagoon, a serene spot that reflects the beauty of Cotopaxi and its surroundings. Here, you can take in the panoramic views, snap stunning photographs, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere. For those seeking an extra thrill, an optional hike up to the Jose Rivas Refuge at 4,800 meters offers a closer look at the volcano's glacier and a taste of high-altitude trekking.
After a day filled with exploration and adventure, you'll return to Quito, carrying with you memories of an extraordinary journey through one of Ecuador's natural treasures.
