Wonderful experience! - Wonderful experience with Josua! We got to see many animals and were able to go to the base camp of Cotopaxi. Josua was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The hike can be tough with elevation but it isn’t long.

Great Cotopaxi trip - Our guide Alexander was terrific and very personable. He made sure everyone was okay on the hike up and down. He ensured we were all safe and kept checking in with everyone. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Ecuador and the outdoors and the environment! The driver Jaime managed the roads with great care and ensured we were safe and he was available for those who felt the altitude and needed to rest on the bus.

Be sure to do it! - Sporty challenging tour for which it is best to have a hat & gloves with you as the weather changes very quickly.
The Cotopaxi is a beautiful volcano and tour guide Irene imparts everything you need to know full of passion! A great experience, which I absolutely recommend!
There is a stop at the minimarket in the morning to buy snacks in the water. It's all thought of!

Cotopaxi or Bust! - This was an unforgettable time and so glad I did it despite not being fully prepared! I made a last minute decision and booked this trip and was able to find the gear I needed before ascending thanks to the stops made by the guide and driver. They were awesome and the views were stunning. The elevation isn't for the faint of heart but we all made it!

Great Shared Tour - Great Shared trip to Cotopaxi. The guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was well paced and we made several short stops when the volcano was visible which is not always the case. Well run economical tour.

A very beautiful experience on a volcano - It is a very well organized Tour, the places to visit are impressively beautiful, Diana was an excellent guide, my only complaint is that people who are not staying in a hotel make them go to the nearest hotel and that should not be so because those who are in a hotel if they pick it up and all pay the same, the city of Quito and its surroundings have liked me a lot
