About this activity

This exclusive experience will introduce you to the Andes Mountain Range landscape and wildlife.

Your profesional tour guide will pick you up at your hotel or airbnb to start the tour and go to Cotopaxi.

The 90 minutes drive from Quito to Cotopaxi is full of beautifull mountains and cosy small villages.

Arriving to Cotopaxi the local guide will be waiting with helmets, ponchos and horses. Then you will ride a horse for 2 hours around the grassland and the beautifull volcano.
