2. Behold the majestic Cotopaxi, a vision of perfection with its impeccably symmetrical cone draped in a lavish cloak of snow and ice. A crowning jewel of Ecuador, this volcano beckons travelers from across the globe, making it the nation's most adored and ascended peak. Nestled amidst the ethereal paramo plateau of the Cotopaxi National Park, witness wild horses roaming freely, their silhouettes dancing against the vast plains. They converge by the serene Limpiopungo lagoon, a mirror reflecting the pristine white summits of the neighboring Volcan Rumiñahui. This haven is not just a sight, but a symphony of nature, where waterfowl and avian wonders serenade the soul. 1. Mariscal Sucre Interpretation Centre - get your passport stamped :) 2.

• 5Enduring Cotopaxi!

  The Cotopaxi volcano quest can only be described in 3 words: Intense, challenging, and rewarding. We climbed to the initial lodge at 4900 meters and decided to go ahead up to the glaciers at 5250m. It's definitely one of those things that requires a lot of physical endurance and motivation. The fee for admission, $65, was definitely well worth. The trip included transport from one of 2 hotels all the way to Cotopaxi, lunch, view of the lagoon, a guide up the mountain, a tour of the museum, and dropoff at secret garden—its about a day trip! Our guide, Medardo, a local, always made sure that nobody was left behind, he had a friendly demeanor, and was always energetic. I would most definitely recommend him for anyone wanting to scale Cotopaxi!

• 5So glad I went with these guys!

  Amazing, beautiful time with Alejandro climbing up Cotopaxi! He gave us tons of information about the surrounding volcanoes, he patiently stayed with me as I struggled up the mountain, he gave us local artisanal chocolate!! Lunch was the best I had eaten so far on my travels in Ecuador, no joke, that soup and appetizer were unbelievable. And the SURPRISE we got after lunch was sooo fun. CarpeDM really takes care of their guests, ten out of ten!

• 5Excellent Cotapaxi tour

  Had a wonderful experience on the one day Cotapaxi tour and this was one of the best priced tour companies available. Went in a small group of 3 which was perfect. We stopped for photos in front of the mountain before doing a short (but steep) hike up to the refuge for hot chocolate, with the option to hike up further. The bike ride is on a mountain bike down uncorrugated roads. Lunch was great and the tour company also gave us a souvenir at the end of our trip. Our guide Alejandro was a great operator. He was funny and full of great information about the history of the volcano, animals and flora and Ecuador in general, and made sure we had enough time to enjoy the experience as well as getting us home on time.
