Ecuador Trekking Tour

Leaving early we head towards the Cotopaxi National Park . After entering the park we visit the Lagoon of Limpiopungo at 3.880m where we go for a hike. Later we go to the parking site of the refuge at 4.650m and from here we will walk to the refuge José Rivas at 4.800m, because of the altitude this will take about an hour. We ascend to the beginning of the glacier, enjoy the views and in the afternoon we will drive through the Andes to the village small village of Isinlivi where we will stay in our eco-friendly Hostal Llullu Llama. Approx trekking time 3 hours.

After breakfast we start our hike into the Toachi Canyon. First we go down into the river and back up to reach the road to Chugchilan. The hike will take around 5 hours and we will pass the fields and houses of the local people. Tonight we will stay in the cosy Hostal Mama Hilda. Approx trekking time 5 hours.

On the last day of our trekking we hike up to the Quilotoa Crater Lake. First down into the canyon and back up for about 4 to 5 hours. On the top you will be rewarded with beautiful views of the Quilotoa Lake. After lunch our car will be waiting to take us back to Quito. Approx trekking time 6 hours (if you are too tired to trek up to the lake today then alternatively transport can be hired at $25 extra).
