Cotopaxi National Park Tours
The beauty and scenery of Ecuador's countryside will awe you when you take the Cotopaxi National Park Tour. Your tour begins when your professional tour guide picks you up from your Quito area hotel. You will travel along the Panamericana South Highway, passing beautiful natural landscapes. On Thursdays, the tour will stop at the traditional Saquisili market, where you will have time to browse the many native displays and crafts of the locals. Your next stop on the tour is the active volcano Cotopaxi, which rises to a height of approximately 5,897 meters. You will have plenty of time to explore the many varieties of plant and animal life that call Cotopaxi National Park home. The tour also takes you to the scenic Limpiopungo Lake, located in the park. When weather permits, you will have the option of taking a nature hike to enjoy the natural aspect of the park in closer proximity.
The final stop of your tour is a classic hacienda, or ranch. At the hacienda, you will be able to observe first hand the daily life and traditions of the region.
