Itinerary
Day 1
Cotopaxi National Park
Hike starts at 4500 meters above sea level and climbs up to 4864 meters at the Refugio. From there it's about another 45 minute hike before you arrive at the Glacier at 5000 meters. To avoid the possibility of altitude sickness we recommend acclimating before attempting this hike.

Customer reviews & ratings
I had a great time climbing Cotopaxi and staying in the amazon. It was a great trip. The only comment I would make just for future reference- I was the only young female in the group (I'm 24yrs). The rest of my group in the amazon consisted of 60-70yr old females. It was still a great time, just a little surprising at first. I had a great time exploring G adventures is a well organized company and I had a great time. Not once did I feel unsafe with the group.
Ashley Jul, 2024 VerifiedThere is no place in the world more strangely beautiful and spectacular than you will see on this trip. From the amazing to the unbelievable, I have one word, "Go." This was a series of expeditions and exploration. Every guide from Fillepe to Adrian to Alex was not only the consummate professional, but could share knowledge about: - geology - geography - history - flora - fauna - biochemistry (that was a shocker, to be fair... didn't expect our guide to absolutely drop some PhD level knowledge about the 3rd form of photosynthesis)
