About this trip

Cotopaxi National Park is the second most visited natural attraction in Ecuador, after the Galapagos Islands. Imagine viewing the second-highest volcano, at a height of 5897 metres above sea level, up close! Now add a visit to an old hacienda and to see the most beautiful roses in the world. What a spectacular combination! 

Cotopaxi Volcano is reached via a very interesting two-hour drive to 3800 metres above sea level (12500 ft ASL), where we will see a glacial lagoon and, weather permitting, some surrounding volcanoes. The hike up to the shelter takes from 45 minutes to one hour and will be, most probably, the highest or one of the highest places you have ever visited! Time to stamp your passport!

To continue with this unique visit, we will go back in time to a magical seventeenth-century hacienda which is steeped in history. The tour also includes a visit to one of Ecuador’s famous rose farms, where you’ll be amazed by the massive and picturesque roses. Our roses are renowned as the best in the world!  Let us share some stories with you

This was amazing and the organisation by Catalina was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble . Our guides Pepe and Victor had amazing knowledge and you felt safe at all points . There are plenty of cycle lanes as well . It was great to see a bit more of Quito and learn about some of the murals . The market was fab trying various fruits . Victor then took us through some chocolate tasting and what he does not know about chocolate is not worth knowing. It was an incredible afternoon and would thoroughly recommend .

This was a great introduction to Ecuador. Our guide Pepe was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot in a short space of time . The middle of the world experience was also fun with the experiments at the equator as well as seeing some traditional huts and dress . Would recommend

Our guides were fantastic from beginning to end. “Viva Quito” !!!! Equipment/Mountain Bikes, helmets were also very good. (suggest bells for urban riding and equip with lights for evening rides). Terrain has hills and at 9400’ altitude. We learned a lot of the history and various neighborhoods of Quito. Stay alert for some rather serious pot holes and have fun The tour concluded with a very informative and delicious chocolate tasting class. 👍😊

We had the most wonderful time in Mindo with Pepe and Alvarito. They were the kindest people and gave us the most special experience. We got to see the hummingbird garden, Mindo forest and waterfalls, rode the cable car across the forest, butterfly garden, and chocolate tasting tour. It was such an incredible day, and so so worth the time and money. Pepe and Alvarito 100% made this day and we would definitely do it again! Thank you!!
