Cotopaxi National Park 1 Day Tour

Cotopaxi National Park tour is an exciting day that begins with spectacular views of the unique Andean landscape
in the Avenue of the Volcanoes. Inside the national park we hike up to the refuge, which is situated at 4,810m
on the Cotopaxi snowline. Depending on conditions we will then hike up to 5,000m where it can be possible to
see the glacier. We will then have a short safety briefing before our descent on mountain bikes! There are two
sections to the mountain biking, the first of which we recommend to experienced riders. The journey finishes at
the beautiful lagoon at the base of Cotopaxi.
This tour goes to a height of 4,810m, it is important that you are prepared for this kind of altitude. We
recommend acclimatizing at least two days around 3,000m.
