Ride Around Cotopaxi
This ride takes you through some of Ecuador's most stunning high altitude scenery, below the icy glaciers of conical, snow-capped Cotopaxi, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world.
Our ride allows us to experience the diverse highland landscapes, flora and fauna, and indigenous communities of this fascinating, compact Andean country. The pace is also varied, from steadily crossing wetlands to cantering across the vast plains of the altiplano.
Nights are spent in a wonderful mixture of haciendas, farmhouses and highland lodges.
Ride Around Cotopaxi is a more rugged trip with simpler accommodation and some camping. Try our Colonial Hacienda Tour for a higher level of comfort. We also offer one to 5 day trips on a tailor-made basis. |
