What to expect

Day 1: Cotopaxi National Park
  1. Cotopaxi National Park
    7m · Admission ticket included
    It is the second-highest volcano in Ecuador with a height of 5897 meters. It is located in the eastern mountain range of the Andes. It is surrounded by other mountains such as Sincholagua, Pasochoa, Rumiñahui, all within the avenue of volcanoes. With its wonderful symmetrical shape, it is an excellence stratovolcano, translated from Quichua into Spanish as the neck of the moon.

    It is located 50 kilometers from the city of Quito, and within the National Park of the same name, it rises with perpetual snow that starts at 5000 above sea level.
Day 2: Quilotoa Lake
  1. Laguna Quilotoa
    7h · Admission ticket included
    In the countryside of Latacunga city, in the Cotopaxi province. We can find the crystal green lagoon of Quilotoa with its ring-shaped. Separating from the Panamericana Highway, the road is curving at the beginning to get to the Paramo Andino. On one side to the other the beautiful patchworks of potatoes, onions, barley, and other crops are appearing; some sheep, llamas, and alcapas peacefully sooner come.

    Along the way to the lagoon, some villages, and small towns, of Kichua people are offering ancient art paintings from Julio Toaquiza and his generation; in Tigua, wooden masks too. In Zumbahua a nice market will occur every Saturday, where the vendors are coming from the mountains to the main plaza. Guinea pigs, groceries, local products, and fruits from the coastal region are easy to find.
Day 3: Baños de Agua Santa
  1. Banos
    5h
    Baños enjoys a subtropical and warm climate, located in a small plateau of the Ecuadorian Andes. Its altitude 1820 meters above sea level (5.971 ft.), surrounded by green mountains and waterfalls. The thermal baths give the name to the town. Baños offers great opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling, canyoning, zip-lining, rafting, hiking, bungee jumping, and horse-riding, that`s why is one of the most visited destinations in Ecuador.

    Although the unpredictable condition of the Mama Tungurahua volcano towering above the town, the volcano's unpredictability is something of a draw in itself, with tourists flocking to high vantage points on cloudless nights to watch it spit lava and rocks into the sky like fireworks.
