Description

Cotopaxi, Ecuador's second most popular adventure destination, is only two hours south of Quito. The Cotopaxi volcano (5,897 meters above sea level) is surrounded by forests, mountains, lagoons, wild horses and ecosystems that change surprisingly as you gain elevation. One of the visits will be to the Limpiopungo Lagoon, which, depending on the weather, you will be able to observe the reflection in its majestic waters of the Rumiñahui Volcano (4,757 m.a.s.l.). Undoubtedly, when you visit Cotopaxi National Park, leaving behind the noise and stress of the city, you will be enveloped in a feeling of spirituality and love for nature that is rarely experienced.
