Cotopaxi National Park & Quilotoa

• Cotopaxi National Park

  4 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  Due to its perfectly symmetrical cone, covered in a thick blanket of snow and ice, the Cotopaxi is one of the tourist highlights in Ecuador and it’s most visited and climbed volcano. The Cotopaxi National Park is situated in a beautiful paramo plateau, where wild horses graze on the extensive plains at the foot of the volcano or gather to drink at the lovely Limpiopungo lagoon, which reflects the white peaks of nearby Volcan Rumiñahui and makes a great spot for watching waterfowl and other birds. Walking in the National Park, you will notice pumice, ash, stone and other volcanic debris amid the tiny páramos plants. 07.20am Depart Quito 09:00am Visit to Cotopaxi National Park and Limpiopungo Lake - Take some stunning photos 11:00am Departure to Quilotoa

• Laguna Quilotoa

  4 hoursAdmission Ticket Included

  Quilotoa is a water-filled caldera and the most western volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. The 3 kilometres (2 mi)-wide caldera was formed by the collapse of this dacite volcano following a catastrophic VEI-6 eruption about 800 years ago, which produced pyroclastic flows and lahars that reached the Pacific Ocean, and spread an airborne deposit of volcanic ash throughout the northern Andes. This last eruption followed a dormancy period of 14,000 years and is known as the 1280 Plinian eruption. Before lunch we visit a local indigenous home where you have the opportunity to interact with the locals. 15:00pm Departure to Baños. 18:30pm We drop you off in our guesthouse.
