Cotopaxi Volcano Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Baños de Agua Santa between 7 and 8 am and depart for the province of Cotopaxi. Along the way, we will view 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 one of the highest active volcanoes in the world.

We will visit the Cotopaxi Museum to learn about the volcano's eruptions and the local flora and fauna. Next, we will proceed to the Limpiopungo Lagoon to take photographs.

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

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