A spectacular start to the adventure visiting Cotopaxi National Park, home to one of the highest active volcanoes in the world (5,897 m). After a brief visit to the park museum, we continue up to around 4,500 meters for incredible views of the Andean páramo. Equipped with helmets and protective gear, we begin an exciting downhill biking adventure along dirt roads through volcanic ash landscapes and grasslands. Along the way we may spot wild horses, Andean foxes, and other wildlife before finishing near the Pucará Inca ruins where we enjoy lunch.
Warm clothes (including hat, scarf and gloves), and waterproofs are recommended for this tour. Also, remember that it's important to drink lots of water and stay hydrated while at high altitude.
