After gearing up, we have the option to start our bike ride at the hacienda or drive to the Northern Slopes of the Volcano before beginning our adventure. As we ride through secondary roads, we pass by the ancient Inca fortress of Pucará del Salitre and take in stunning views of the plains surrounding the cone of the Cotopaxi volcano. Along the Canal road, we will reach the Limpiopungo wetland, an essential habitat for birdlife conservation in the Park. During the ride, we will enjoy a delicious packed lunch and learn about the impressive geological formations and volcanic history of Cotopaxi.
