Early in the morning, we head south of the city along the Avenue of the Volcanoes, named as such because, if the weather allows, we will be able to observe hills and volcanoes such as Pasochoa, Corazón, the Ilinizas, among others, until we reach Cotopaxi National Park. Here, we will visit the Interpretation Center, where our guide will explain and answer all your questions about the highest active volcano in the world.

After learning more about the history and interesting facts about Cotopaxi, we continue to visit Limpiopungo Lagoon and take an interesting walk to observe birds and plants that have perfectly adapted to the cold climate of the area.

Continuing our journey towards Quilotoa Volcano, we will pass through the indigenous community of Tigua, famous for its handicrafts with Andean indigenous themes; we will continue until we reach the community of Zumbahua, where we will make a stop at the viewpoint of the Toachi River Canyon to take photographs.

Then, we will proceed to the lagoon viewpoint, from where we will have a magnificent view of the entire volcano crater and, inside it, the stunning turquoise-colored lagoon. From this point, the hike begins; if the weather and time allow, we will take a short walk to appreciate the impressive view of the volcano. Free time for lunch. Return to the city of Quito.
