About this Cotopaxi Tour itinerary
During this trip you will be at high altitude (approx. up to 4800 meters), so warm clothes (hat, scarf, gloves, warm upper layers, wind/rain proof jacket) are recommended.
You will also need to stay hydrated to avoid effects of altitude, we recommend bringing 2 liters of water per person.
This is a private tour, so you have flexibility to make itinerary changes on the day with your guide.
We recommend booking day tours at least one week in advance, to ensure that a guide is available for you, and the trip booking & organization can be done smoothly.
What Our Clients Say
Susan Collier, UK
Our first day trip was to Cotopaxi with an excellent guide who was also a mountaineer. He told us about the history of the first attempts to climb the volcano, as well as anecdotes about modern climbing. We also say wild horses, and caught good views of the summit between fast-moving clouds. This day was much more than we were expecting thanks to our guide.
Erin, United States
Happy Gringo provided exceptional service for our Cotopaxi volcano hike! You must ask for Christian to guide you up the mountain-he was exceptional, funny, friendly, informative and above all safe! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
