Cotopaxi National Park is located in the eastern mountain range of the Andes. Cotopaxi is the second-highest volcano in Ecuador with a height of 5897 meters. It is surrounded by other mountains such as Sincholagua, Pasochoa, and Rumiñahui, all within the avenue of volcanoes. With its wonderful symmetrical shape, it is an excellent stratovolcano, translated from Quichua into Spanish as the neck of the moon.

Wow, just wow. Truly a fabulous day! Pedro was easy to be with and knowledgeable, answered all our questions and took good care of my daughter and me. Highlights for us were hiking up to the basecamp (which sits a few feet shy of 16,000), seeing 3 Andes Condors fly directly over head, and photographing the Ecuadorian Hillstar Humming Bird at 13,000ft. The whole day was great!

It was a spectacular experience at your own pace. Accompaniment of the guide was essential.
The views are spectacular, worth going to the park and climbing the Cotopaxi.

Our tour was amazing! Diego P. was fabulous, very knowledgeable, and was always checking in with us. When the weather looked like rain he asked what we wanted to do and recommended turning around, and happy we did because it started raining shortly after. We learned a lot about Quito and honestly we couldn’t recommend it enough! Thanks Diego for an amazing day!
