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 will enjoy views of the area's volcanoes: Chimborazo, Los Altares, Tungurahua, Illinizas, and Ruminahui.

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

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

From the lagoon, we will follow a trail to one of the park's refuges for lunch. Afterward, we will 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 will begin the descent to the base of Cotopaxi. The excursion will conclude with our return to your hotel by 4 pm.
