3.00The price paid by other tour members was 55 usd not 79 as advertised on tripadvisor. Other than that the tour was amazing!
Incredible views

5.00What a day hiking! The views were incredible (at least until the clouds came through) and our guide Kevin was terrific. He was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and most importantly, patient. Hiking up the steep volcano to the refuge was difficult, but he stayed with us every step of the way, despite our frequent stops. He even let me borrow his hiking poles to make things easier. The stop at the refuge was much needed as we rested and enjoyed some coca tea. We made a quick stop Limpiopungo, but didn’t stay long because it was raining. NOTE: We didn’t bike down on this trip.
Great option to meet Cotopaxi!

5.00There are several companies that offer the tour to get to know the volcano Cotopaxi. I chose the tour of El Barak due to the attention they gave me during my research and also due to its cost. They were super attentive throughout the trip. Local guide and driver who know a lot, and we offered a great and safe experience! The rest is due to nature, and the adrenaline in going down a few kilometers of bicycle to the end. Highly recommended!
Incredible experience!
