What you can expect

Begin your adventure with a drive to Cotopaxi National Park, where the iconic snow-capped volcano welcomes you with its perfectly symmetrical cone rising above the Andes. Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the high-altitude landscapes and take a scenic walk around Limpiopungo Lagoon, a peaceful Andean wetland that shelters migratory birds, llamas, wild horses, and—on clear days—beautiful reflections of Cotopaxi on its calm waters.

After your walk, delight in an exclusive gourmet picnic in the páramo, carefully prepared with local flavours and surrounded by the vastness of the volcanic plains. It’s a perfect moment to relax, take photos, and absorb the serenity of this extraordinary ecosystem.

For travellers seeking an additional challenge, there is the option to ascend to the José Rivas Refuge, hiking up Cotopaxi’s slopes to feel the crisp mountain air and experience what it’s like to get closer to the glacier.

In the afternoon, begin your return to Quito, carrying unforgettable memories of one of Ecuador’s most majestic natural wonders.
