Miriam was a great guide. She navigated the rough terrain up to Cotopaxi confidently. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and had lots of great information. I loved getting the tour from a local guide.

An expensive excursion but so unique that it is worth it! We truly loved the horseback ride and hospitality of the hacienda staff. They provided us with warm drinks, warm clothes, and a great ride to view Cotapaxi. Our drive to the lagoon and hike was refreshing with beautiful views. It’s always nice to get outdoors and enjoy nature. Our tour guide, Ivan was very pleasant, calm, informative, and a pleasure to be around. He was knowledgeable and took great care of us for the day.
