Meet your guide at your hotel and depart for Cotopaxi National Park.

Brief stop to learn about the park’s ecosystem and rules. Introduction to our “See more. Disturb less.” philosophy.

Gentle walk around the lagoon, observing wetland birds, páramo plants and volcanic landscapes.

Here, the group decides together whether to:
• Continue the relaxed loop around the lagoon, or
• Prepare for the hike towards the refuge (more physical challenge).

• If the refuge hike is chosen: we ascend slowly as a group, taking breaks and enjoying the views.
• If the lagoon option is chosen: we continue exploring the lagoon area and then drive a bit higher for extra photo stops, without going all the way to the main refuge parking lot.

Enjoy a warm Andean meal with views of the highlands. Vegetarian options are usually available; please let us know your dietary needs in advance.

Start the drive back to the city, possibly stopping at a final scenic viewpoint if time and conditions allow.
