Our best seller! By far our most popular tour.
We always recommend staying 3 nights as it is the best way to fully experience the Cotopaxi área, but this is a good way to start tasting it

FREE -The Pasochoa trek

This extinct volcano last erupted more than 100,000 years ago,well before the last ice age ended. However the fertile soil, remote location, and difficult access mean that it remainsrelatively untouched and is now home to some of the most beautiful and ancient forest in the Andes. Rated one of the best treks in Ecuador, we have our own private trail througha private ecological reserve. We trek through primary cloud forest and across the high Paramograsslands to the summit at 4200m. The mountain is home to Puma, Spectacled Bears, Andean Wolvesand more. These animals are rarely seen, butwe do occasionallysee condors inside the crater. Approx 5 hour return trip with friendly guides, snacks and drinksand a late lunch waiting for you back at the hostel.
