• Strenuously Awesome Cotopaxi

  Cotopaxi! Higher by far than any mountain in the lower 48, and an active volcano. There are two ways to get to the refuge. The short way, which our guide Eduardo called "the heartbreaker." You can see the roof of the refuge from the start of this trail, but it is very steep and 3-4 inches (or more) deep in sand. The easier way, which we took, is long. Seemed like it had a hundred switchbacks. I am very slow and Eduardo was frequently checking on me. When we reached the refuge it started snowing and the snow continued throughout our ride back down the mountain. The refuge itself was fascinating. The red tile roof made me think I was in the Himalayas. There was very little light inside, mainly from the windows. Pictures of the flags of the world were posted on the walls and you were supposed to sign the flag from your country. The flag of Uruguay was at our table and we met several people from there. The refuge served hot chocolate, potato soup and chicken soup. A word about coca tea, which has been suggested to prevent altitude sickness: not for people with high blood pressure! I live at 6000 feet in the US and went up to 14000 feet a couple weeks before Cotopaxi, so that 16000 foot hike was not a problem. If you live at a lower elevation wait a few days to acclimatize. And taking it slow is ok! Thank you, Eduardo, for your patience.

  Amazing tour! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We took our time on the hike to enjoy the scenery and catch our breath! It wasn’t too difficult and we saw people of all ages doing it! The lagoon was a nice surprise so many birds and beautiful surroundings

  Our tour of Cotopaxi was everything we hoped for, and we absolutely could not have done it without the help of Eduardo, our extremely knowledgeable guide. He went above and beyond to ensure that our transportation to the site was easy and convenient. He expertly navigated some very rough terrain, which is necessary to cross in order to reach the volcano. His help and patience were crucial in our completion of this high altitude hike, and we felt great about our accomplishment in having done so. Eduardo was also very adept at spotting and identifying local wildlife to enrich our experience even more. We valued his guidance very much and recommend his services to anyone who wants to take this particular tour or any other that he offers.

  We had a fantastic time on our tour with Eduardo. He was a good driver and very knowledgeable on all the sights we saw along the way. The hike up to the refuge is strenuous if you’re not an experienced hiker, and be sure to pack hiking gear and warm clothing. The lagoon is an easier walk and we got to see a lot of flora, fauna and some birds. Would highly recommend this tour if prefer your own pace and you don’t want to be with a large group.

  Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He took us to many areas that show Ecuador as it really is. His love for his country was very apparent and made us value our experience even more. The complete journey left us with a lasting impression of the beauty of Ecuador. We have many pictures to prove it! He even took pictures for us and sent them to us. Thanks for caring that our experience was positive. Carol and Vester Bailey

• volcán Cotopaxi experience

  Great physical challenge, it deserves all the respect possible. It is advisable to purchase a guided tour that prepares people for the changes in the body. Very cold, even with good weather, there is a lot of wind. You should climb very slowly, taking short steps that do not generate too much effort, drink small sips of water, eat chocolate and use sunscreen if possible even when it is cloudy.

• SUPER TOUR BY EDUARDO

  Super Tour. We contacted Eduardo for touting around Quito. Wel we could not imagine what was in store fir us. We were picked up early in the morning and drove to the volcanos. Eduardo, our guide, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Comfortable vehicle, and got lots of interesting information during our trip. When in Quito, beleave me, you should not miss their tours. And I truly believe Eduardo is the best.
