The best hike in the Andes! Our latest tour takes you away from the tourist track, in a magnificent landscape with the most distinctive and famous mountain top view. We follow the route of William Reiss, who in 1872 went up first to the present base camp of Cotopaxi. With a little luck we could see some local wild life such as condors, deer, wolves and other small animals. This is a relatively easy going and very scenic trek, it helps as training and acclimatization for prominent and major peaks. We use Local Haciendas and cozy lodges cozy creating the perfect atmosphere for this great experience.
