Visit Cotopaxi National Park and Quilotoa - Full-Day Tour

Early in the morning we will drive south of the city through the Avenue of the Volcanoes, so called because, weather permitting, we will be able to observe hills and volcanoes such as Pasochoa, Corazón, Ilinizas, among others, until we arrive at the Cotopaxi National Park, where we will visit the Interpretation Centre. 

Here our guide will explain and answer all your questions about the highest active volcano in the world, after learning more about the history and curious facts about Cotopaxi. We continue to visit the Limpiopungo Lagoon and take an interesting walk to observe birds and plants that have adapted perfectly to the cold climate of the area. 

Continuing our journey towards the Quilotoa volcano, we will pass by the indigenous community of Tigua, famous for its Andean handicrafts. 

We will continue until we reach the community of Zumbahua, where we will stop at the viewpoint of the Toachi river canyon to take pictures, then we will continue until we reach the viewpoint of the lagoon, from where we will have a great view of the entire crater of the volcano and inside the large turquoise lagoon. From this point we will start the walk, if time and weather permit we will do a short walk to enjoy the breathtaking view of the volcano. There will be free time for lunch. Afterwards, we return to the city of Quito.
