    We had 2 different guides on the 2 days of this trip. Christian on day one was so enthusiastic and knowledgable about the local landscape and wildlife. We had beautiful weather and made it to the Cotopaxi refuge. Robin on day 2 also shared great tales of the locality and Quilotoa lake was beautiful. The accommodation wasn’t great as it was damp and not particularly clean and this made for an odd night in between 2 wonderful days of hiking and exploring.

    This was a great experience. The hikes were beautiful and breathtaking (literally and figuratively). The accommodations were great during overnight. Our guides, Daniel and Patricio, were fantastic. They spoke great English and were a wealth of knowledge when it comes to their country. They knew every plant and animal while on the trail, and detailed history of the cities and cultures that were around us. Highly recommended.
