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, enjoying views of volcanoes such as Chimborazo, Los Altares, Tungurahua, Illinizas, and Ruminahui during the two-and-a-half-hour drive.

Upon arriving at Cotopaxi National Park, our ascent will begin. The Cotopaxi volcano is the most active volcano in Ecuador and one of the highest active volcanoes globally. We will visit the Cotopaxi Museum to learn about the volcano’s eruptions and local flora and fauna, followed by a trip to Limpiopungo Lagoon for photos.

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

After exploring the area, we will descend to the base of Cotopaxi. The excursion concludes with our return to your hotel by 4 pm.
