5.00It is a truly unique experience. Our guide Victor was incredibly close, willing to help in any situation, he knows very well the region, the risks and how to act in each situation, a great professional. It is certainly a demanding climb if you are not used to the height. Equally recommended if you want to live a unique experience.

5.00We visited Cotopaxi as a family and had an incredible experience. The tour started at Plaza Foch at 7:10 AM, and we arrived at the breakfast stop around 8:45 AM. For just $5, breakfast included rice, chicken, soup, salad, and dessert so no need to worry if you didn’t get a chance to eat beforehand. Victor and Anthony were fantastic guides, knowledgeable, engaging, and full of insights about the history, landscape, and each step of the tour. Our driver, Ricardo, was also wonderful: very safe, attentive, and even helped my little one make it all the way up to the base. Be prepared for rapidly changing weather. It can start warm and sunny, then suddenly shift to strong winds, rain, or even snow. Bring proper hiking gear and layered clothing (wool, Gore-Tex, beanie, gloves, and good hiking shoes are highly recommended). We chose the more challenging steeper route (not the zigzag path), and everyone managed to reach the base within an hour. After the hike, we biked down to the lake, where we spotted horses and birds along the way. We returned to Plaza Foch around 5:15 PM. Overall, it was a wholesome, memorable experience, highly recommended.
fabulous day

5.00It was a unique experience! It is very worth challenging on the climb to the refuge and then take a coke tea. The guide Victor and Ricardo were incredible, super patient and careful.
If possible, live this experience!

5.00The walk is well worth it! But be on the cardio day and the minimum of physical conditioning to give a good walk. Victor and Ricardo were extremely professional and totally made a difference in the ride helping everyone and encouraging at all times. It was a sensational experience!
day experience in Cotopaxi.
