Me encantó este paseo de principio a fin! Él guía fue muy cordial desde el principio, el almuerzo, los caballos muy bien cuidados y adiestrados. Me sentí muy segura. Y finalmente el Volcán Cotopaxi fue para mí un sueño hecho realidad... Muchas gracias por todo, muy recomendable haberlo hecho!

This was an amazing tour. The horseback riding was an easy two hours roundtrip to a mirador of Cotopaxi. We were blessed with a perfect day: clear blue skies, minimal clouds and striking views of the mountain. Ximena was a wonderful guide; she spoke English well and was very informative and friendly. Miguel, our 'Chagras' guide on horseback, was also great. This was just a perfect day!

Our Guide Miriam was so knowledgable and made the whole experience so delightful with history and facts and folklore of the Andes. It was a peaceful and beautiful experience words will not do it justice.
