What To Expect
Cotopaxi National Park
We will depart to the south of Quito towards the highest active volcano in the world. The Cotopaxi is surrounded by its National Park, home to abundant plant life, a rich fauna, and Inca ruins. Leaving Quito on the Panamericana South, we reach the Park entrance and begin our visit to the natural history museum before continuing up Cotopaxi. We ascend the mountain as high as possible to the parking lot at 4500 meters. From here, a short 45-minutes walk takes us up to the refuge to observe a variety of birds and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime

Climbing the volcano in the snow was an unforgettable experience. The host was very attentive to my tight schedule and took necessary safety precautions. He was very informative. I would definitely go on this tour again with my wife and cousin.

Exploring and feeling like family with Inspiring Ecuador at the highest active Volcano Cotopaxi

The tour was exceptional in all ways! Our tour guide Carolina picked us up from our hotel on time and drove us to the Cotopaxi National Park. She was a very knowledgeable guide and a very careful driver, always caring about our comfort and safety. We enjoyed each activity offered in the trip, we visited the Limpiopunga lagoon from where we had a majestic view of the active volcano! Carolina explained in a very detailed way every corner we visited! We were lucky enough to see an andean fox in our way to the parking lot. We also walked up to the refuge at 15.973 feet! We have never been at this altitude before! It was such a wonderful experience for me and my family. We ended the trip in a charming local restaurant where we enjoyed the famous and delicious potatoe soup (if you like to try local gastronomy you can't miss this place "Posada Chagra"). We enjoyed a nice chat while having lunch like we've known each other for years! We think Carolina is excellent and exceptional in the way she managged our tour and also in her very warm and caring manner and approach. She is totally in love of her country and very passionate about the company she works with. If we come back to Quito we would definitely ask for Carolina as a tour guide! Do yourself a favor and book with Inspiring Ecuador Tour Company and Carolina you won't regret!
Definitely recommend

Carolina who arranged our tour and Juan David who led it could not have been more accommodating. Juan was a good laugh and really good company. He knew what he was talking about and got us up the volcano to see the clouds disappear and get an incredible view of the peak. We stopped off at a really good place for lunch and got dropped off at the airport in plenty of time for our flight. The whole thing went perfectly and I would highly recommend this company, Carolina and Juan David.
