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 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 volcano's eruptions and the regional flora and fauna. Then we'll proceed to the Limpiopungo Lagoon for photographs.

From the lagoon, we'll follow a trail to one of the park's refuges for a break and 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 descend to the base of Cotopaxi. The excursion will conclude with our return to your hotel at 4 pm.
