An early start is necessary for this exciting biking adventure down the Cotopaxi volcano. You will be picked up by our guide at your hotel in Quito or any hotel in the Cotopaxi area. We first driver up to the parking lot at 4.500 (15.000 ft). Here we put on our helms, gloves, and protective pads and the bike adventure on the highest active volcano begins!
The first 8 km takes you down 700m on dirt roads through volcanic ash and tundra landscape. At 3.800m you will have to do some paddling on your own while we head down another 8km between volcanic rocks and wild horses to our lunch spot by the Inca Ruin at 3.700m. If we are lucky we may see a condor or caracara flying over. We put the bikes back on the jeep and head for the lake Limpiopungo at 3.800m where we start the 16km mostly downhill biking on dirt and paved roads through the national park and pine forest. Around 4pm we get back into the jeep for our drive back to your hotel.
