Breathtaking views and amazing memories! - Me and my brother had an AMAZING time!! It was an adventure that we will never forget! We liked learning about the country of Ecuador and stopping at the authentic market as well. Hiking Quilotoa and Cotapaxi was medium level difficulty, and the tour guide was always there if we needed assistance! We had a great time and will remember this trip forever! I recommended biking down Cotapaxi and brining warm gloves and hat and water bottle to bring, but pack light. Thanks David!

Excellent experience in Cotopaxi and Quilotoa - We had a great time on this excursion, super organized, very good food, very experienced guides, they hosted us at the Sakiwa hotel which we thought was excellent. Our guide was David, who I will always remember for how attentive and kind he is!

10/10 recommend Ecosportour - 2 days 1 night: Cotopaxi and Quilotoa - Stui our tour guide was engaging, happy, and provided so many history tidbits that made the tours that much more enjoyable. He made our tours so great. Transportation was always on time and comfortable, our overnight accommodation was great, and the food at the restaurants were great. Cotopaxi and Quilotoa hikes were amazing. Stui and other local guides reassured us that we can go at our own pace and if we needed to stop that it was totally okay. One of the best tours I’ve done in Ecuador! Highly recommend to anyone looking to see Ecuador’s beauty.

Beautiful Sceneries of Ecuador - We had an excellent time visiting Cotopaxi and Quilotoa. The tour guide for each day took great care of the group and told interesting stories during the drives. We had altitude sickness but managed to complete most of the activities. Thanks to Stui for being very patient with us during hike to Quilotoa Lagoon. Communication with tour company was excellent before and during our trip.

Cotopaxi Tour - This tour was incredible! The guides are super knowledgeable and it was amazing to learn about the culture and history of Ecuador. Also, you will get to do things you’ve never done like climb up to 16,000 ft. This was a super special amazing experience- and I highly recommend to everyone! Traveling as a female alone, I got to meet many new friends as well- I give it a 10/10 🙏🏼

Great tours with Ecosportour! - I came across Ecosportour while walking around Quito and decided to visit Cotopaxi and Quilatoa with them. All communications were via Whatsapp and they always responded immediately and were super patient with all my questions. Both the guide and driver (both Alex!) were exceptional! Alex (guide) knew EVERYTHING about the volcanoes, their myths/legends, and about Ecuador! Alex (driver) was one of the best and safest drivers I've ever had on an organized tour! Thank you for showing me some of the most beautiful landscapes in Ecuador!
