Cotopaxi Volcano Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Baños de Agua Santa between 7 and 8 am and set off towards the province of Cotopaxi. Along the way, we'll enjoy views of the area's volcanoes: Chimborazo, Los Altares, Tungurahua, Illinizas, and Ruminahui.

After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, we'll arrive at Cotopaxi National Park, where our ascent will begin. The Cotopaxi volcano is the most active volcano in Ecuador and among the highest active volcanoes in the world.

We'll visit the Cotopaxi Museum to learn about the different eruptions of the volcano and the regional flora and fauna. Then we'll continue on to the Limpiopungo Lagoon for photo opportunities.

From the lagoon, we'll follow a trail to one of the park's refuges, where we'll take a break and have lunch. Afterward, we'll ascend to 5,000 meters, the highest point of our tour and the start of the glacier that tops the volcano.

After exploring the area, we'll begin the descent to the base of Cotopaxi. The excursion will conclude with our return to your hotel, where we'll arrive at 4 pm.
