Tour to the top and if you want to go to the bottom go for it
Wow, the location was fabulous, but that's thanks to Mother Nature. Our guide Alejandro was friendly, informative, without going over every detail, patient and fun.

Wow! Amazing Tour of Beautiful Volcanoes!
One of the BEST tours I've ever taken. My daughter and I travel the world visiting Volcanoes and we are so happy we chose this tour guide for Cotopaxi and Quilatoa! Andres and Jimmy were super friendly, accommodating, punctual, and knew the complete history of the area. The sights were spectacular, unforgettable, and easy to access. We left completely satisfied. I highly recommend this tour guide to visit these infamous bucket-list volcanoes!

Unique Experience
Irene tour guide and Jimmy our driver were excellent. Irene's passion and knowledge made our trip very educational and beautiful experience. I highly recommend her. As any nature excursion it always depends on the weather and mother nature. We had good weather so we were able to see the beautiful Cotopaxi volcano and Quilotoa. Some advice take your time because elevation sickness is real also wear appropriate clothing as weather changes quickly.

Not enough time
The tour started by visiting a local market. It sold veggies, fruits, rice, meats, cooking oils, etc. We spent 30 minutes there and the market was not interesting. Then we visited an indigenous family. This was more interesting. Then we only 2 hours at the Laguna. That was not enough time at all, if you wanted to go to the Laguna shores. Then we spent another hour at a lunch place. The food was ok.

A valuable experience
This is a nice day trip.
The local operator is customer service oriented and flexible. Carolina, the guide and the driver were very nice , polite and friendly.
The only challenge lies with inconsiderate tourists. We had a few in our group that chose not to listen to the hiking directions.provided by the guide. Their behavior lead to one hour delay, leaving the lagoon very late and making it back to Quito around 8:30 PM.

First rate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% the best way to maximize a short stay over in Quito!
Thanks to our guide, Rasu, we were able to get some amazing photos at both Cotopaxi and Lake Quilotoa and return to our hotel in a reasonable amount of time. The alpacas are as advertised btw and super cool! I highly recommend this tour. It’s worth the extra $.

Enjoyable, bit challenging tour.
I really appreciared that this tour took us to the real Ecuadorian parts of lifes even before reaching to Lake Quilatoa. Starting for breakfast at local restaurant and stopped by a local indeginous farm house to learn about how local people lived , what kind of equipment they used , farmed Gunea Pigs, Yamas. It is very interesting. And heading to the lake.
3900 meters, decending to 3500 meters mysterious lake is easy but a vending up is so tough.
Finally having a lunch at the local restaurant was a big highlight.
I will recommend everybody to join this tour who wants visit Ecuador

Ways to explore
How to get there
When to visit

There is an entrance fee to access the lake viewpoints and walking trails.
The lake is located at high altitude, and if you’ve just arrived in Quito, it’s recommended to spend a couple of days acclimatizing before hiking or biking.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water if you plan on walking around the crater.
