Highlights
  • Quito - A capital city high in the Andes, Quito is dramatically situated, squeezed between mountain peaks whose greenery is concealed by the afternoon mist. Modern apartment buildings and modest concrete homes creep partway up the slopes, and busy commercial thoroughfares lined with shops and choked with traffic turn into peaceful neighborhoods on Sundays. Warm and relaxed, traditional Ecuadorian Sierra culture
  • Rucu Pichincha - When you stop in front of this mountain, to your right is the north, your left is the south, Quito is like 64km long and 4 km inch, starting from this active volcano.
  • Tambillo - Place people use to rest, have a meal. Quechua name Tambo.
    this is a small one, called Tambillo
  • Cotopaxi National Park - We are going to look some important neighborhoods of Quito, while we are leaving the city, also the contrast between the north and south part of the city, then we can se how Cordillera de Los Andes divide in two lines, and the most important mountains and snow crops are going to appear on the road, to show us and amazing view .
    for example Pichincha, Atacazo, Corazon, Ilinizas, Cayambe , Antisana, Sincholagua, Rumiñahui and Cotopaxi .

Cotopaxi Tour - This tour was amazing! From hiking up Cotopaxi to biking to the lagoon, there wasn't a second I wasn't having fun! Not to mention our top-notch tour guide, Felipe, that made the journey even more incredible. I learned a lot about the area and was constantly entertained at the same time. 10/10 would go again.

Great trip with reliable knowledgeable guide - Great trip with a nice and reliable guide. He took great care of us and provided for an awesome experience. We knew Felipe already from our airport pick-up and contacted him the day after for the trip to cotopaxi. His knowledge made for an exclusive and memorable trip. After the tiring hike up to the refuge (the altitude really makes it tough) and an relaxed round around the meadows he showed to a great lunch place...where finally cotopaxi revealed itself from the clouds... Anyways... Great experience... :)
