Our guides were... - Our guides were absolutely amazing! Unfortunately the original hike we purchased had closed access a week prior. Our guides did an excellent job recommending some alternative hikes, so we ended up going to Cotopaxi (which was amazing). Along the way, they picked up a 3rd guide who had intimate knowledge of Cotopaxi since she had grown up in its magnificent shadow. They were incredibly knowledgeable and literally treated us like family. I hope we cross paths with them again. Thank you for an amazing adventure!
