Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrancesshiahyunc, Sep 2026
Cotopaxi Volcano hike
We really enjoyed the hike. I do think tho that the after-hike late lunch could be skipped. It started at 7 am and back to hotel at 5 pm.

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day TourIlliana_Q, Sep 2026
Slippery slopes but beautiful views
If you have poor balance or any concerns with your knees/back, beware that the waterfall hike portion in Mindo is very slippery. Bring hiking shoes and hiking poles or as to skip it to avoid injury. I slipped (I have bad balance) and luckily walked away with only a bruised tailbone and elbow. Otherwise, the place is beautiful and interacting with the hummingbirds (so many different kinds!!) is magical.

Great tour!
The tour was absolutely fantastic! Michael, our guide, was simply amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. He made the tour truly memorable. I can’t recommend this tour and Michael highly enough. If you’re considering booking, definitely go for it!

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including EntrancesRachael_S, Sep 2026
Definitely add this to your 'must do' list in Quito!
This was such a great first activity to do when I landed in Ecuador! From the time I booked, the communication was great. I also received a message from our guide, Irene, in the morning to confirm the pick-up time and she sent us photos from the day afterwards too. The bus was super clean and modern and our driver (Jimmy) got us there and back very safely, taking care of the bus by cleaning it when we stopped too.It is a long day but not too bad and the trip is broken up a lot by going for breakfast, doing the short hike to Cotopaxi base-camp, visiting the laguna and then going for lunch.The hike itself is only short - but the altitude is no joke if you're not used to it! If you get to base-camp early you have the option to walk a little further up the hill and make it to 5,000 MASL. This was a little bit tough but so glad I did it!Cotopaxi itself is stunning if you get good weather - the disappearing glacier is beautiful and sad to see 🥹We even saw an Andean fox!There is no food provided on the tour, this was the only down side - but I was aware of this when booking. As a vegan, I would recommend taking your own food for the day as the cafe's don't really cater well for veggie/vegans. But I sat with everyone and ate my own food, no problems.Thank you for a wonderful day guy🗻I'll remember this trip forever!

A lot of activities for a one-day tour!
A very relaxing, informative, and fun tour!
The sunny weather was perfect to catch a view of the Cayambe volcano.
We had an Andean delicacy tasting, a short bus show, and a very unexpected concert!
The short walk to the waterfall was refreshing, and shopping at the traditional Otavalo market left us satisfied (and penniless!).
Thank you so much, Diana, for all the interesting facts along the way, and to Silvio for the smooth ride back and forth!

Amazing scenery!
We were lucky with the changing weather in the Andes, and my son was able to kayak in the Quilotoa lagoon for the first time! Thanks to Irene and her deep knowledge of our destination and Ecuador in general, the tour was both interesting and fun. Jonathan, our driver, kept us safe the entire way despite the heavy traffic on the Pan-American Highway.

Lots of fun!
This was an excellent and memorable experience. My husband and I really appreciated learning more about Ecuadorian foods and delicious unique Andean fruits. We will definitely be making some of the recipes we made during the cooking class. Highly recommend.

Biscocho y Otavalo
The tour was fantastic! Our guide Daniel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local history. We loved having the chance to interact with the people of Otavalo and learn about their traditions and way of life. Highly recommend this experience!

We are a family and had a wonderful day trip using this operator. Ivan was our guide for the day and he couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. If I was back in Quito, I definitely use them again. MANY thx

Thank you Carolina!!
The tour is absolutely worthwhile. I was so lucky to connect with.Carolina as my guide. The drive up there is incredible even though it got a little bit misty as we got toward the top. It rained on and off throughout the day, but it didn’t stop us from doing a short hike near the pools. And since it was just she and I besides the driver. She joined me in every activity and the pools and was incredible company. What a beautiful soul and so passionate about sharing her knowledge about the vegetation and scenic areas and she was super knowledgeable about the local history. I learned so much. In addition, got to soak in the thermal pools for an extended period of time. She was a trooper and joined me for everything and we had a great traditional lunch meal too. She managed our time well and provided a lot of flexibility
