This extinct volcano is one of the best options for watching the Andean Condor, not to mention the many species of hummingbirds that can be found in the region. During the hiking you will admire many different landscaping and you will be able to watch the Cotopaxi Volcano. In the interior of the crater you can find the rests of a primary andean forest. No doubt this is the perfect excursion for them who are newvies in the altitud and very recommended to the ones that are starting an acclimatization program. Time in the region can vary, so it’s important to be prepared with warm clothes. (Note: All times are approximate, EXCEPT starting time.)
