Day Tour to Cotopaxi National Park

A visit to the Cotopaxi National Park during a visit to Ecuador is a must! It is the highest active volcano in the world and we find it just driving south of Quito. We will have the chance to explore the park and see the vegetation of the common "Paramo" climatic zone. Our bus will take us to the refuge at 4600 mts where we will have the opportunity (if the group decides)t o walk up to the refuge at 4800 mts. A great experience for all the professional trekkers and climbers who end up stunned by the marvelous landscape of this place. Enjoy lunch in one of the local traditional haciendas.
