The team gathers at Tambo Paxi Lodge (3,750 m) for lunch at 12:00 midday, providing a final opportunity to fuel up before heading to higher altitudes. Between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, the guides arrive with the necessary gear, and after a final equipment check, we depart towards José Rivas Refuge on Cotopaxi (4,864 m).

The drive takes us through the rugged landscapes of Cotopaxi National Park, offering stunning views of the páramo and volcanic terrain. We reach the car park at 4,780 m, where we begin a 40 to 50-minute trek up a steep, sandy trail to the refuge. Upon arrival, we settle in, acclimatize, and take time to relax.

Dinner is served at 5:00 PM, providing much-needed energy for the upcoming ascent. Afterward, we rest and prepare for the night climb, aiming for a midnight departure towards the summit of Cotopaxi at 5,897 m.
