Ximena picked us up from our hotel on time in the morning and drove us to Cotopaxi. She’s very friendly and is knowledgeable about the flora and trails around Cotopaxi. She drove up a very steep road to the José Rivas Refuge but we decided to turn around given that it was snowing and cloudy. Along the way we saw a fox and vistas of the volcano flatlands. She then guided us to hike the Cotopaxi lagoon area and pointed out native plants and herbs. We wrapped up the day by stopping by a former Ecuador president’s house that now is a hotel and restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal of local Ecuador dishes. We enjoyed the tour and recommend it for a great day trip to Cotopaxi.

This was an amazing trip and our guide, Diana and driver, Wilmer were excellent. This is our second tour with Ecuador Best Tours and their communication, service, attention to detail and focus on safety is outstanding. We hiked from the parking lot at Cotopaxi to the refuge. While it is only a 1km hike, you are doing it from roughtly 14,000 to 15,000 feet. It took us over 1 hour. It was very exhausting but our guide helped us through….urging us to take small steps and many rest stops. It was totally worth it and an excellent accomplishment. Coming down is easy. Hiking poles are highly recommended. The lunch at the Hacienda was an excellent reward as well.
