5.00Our private tour of Cotopaxi was amazing!! We drove up to 4500 meters and did the hike to the refuge at 4800 meters. Our guide took us on a less steep assent that gave us beautiful panoramic views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Highly recommend!
Unforgettable Cotopaxi adventure

5.00Our day with Jeff at Cotopaxi National Park was unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up from our Airbnb, he treated us like family—warm, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. On the way, Jeff checked if we’d eaten, stopped for breakfast, and introduced us to colada morada, a traditional drink served only during the Day of the Dead season. It was such a special local touch that made the day feel authentic and personal. Throughout the drive and hike, Jeff shared fascinating stories about Quito’s history, the native wildlife, and the unique plants of the Andes. As we climbed toward the José Rivas Refuge, he encouraged us every step of the way, carried a pack when needed, and gently helped my mom up and down the mountain. On the return, he even suggested a fantastic local spot for lunch with authentic Ecuadorian cuisine—a perfect way to end an incredible adventure. Jeff’s knowledge, care, and kindness made the entire experience feel like exploring with family. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you are considering a Cotopaxi experience choose this one with Jeff!
