Cotopaxi National Park
Ecuador’s “Avenue of the Volcanoes” is a 325 km. long valley between the major Cordillera ranges. Massive and standing alone, the volcanoes provide brooding, snow-covered contrast to the green equatorial lushness.

You can climb Cotopaxi (5897m), the world’s second highest active volcano – this offers an exciting, unforgettable challenge and although it’s non-technical, it’s a tough climb and you have to allow enough time for the acclimatisation to enjoy it fully.
There are a number of trail riding companies who will outfit you with the typical ‘chagra’ attire and lead you to the foothills of the Rumiñahui volcano, perhaps even riding side by side with herds of wild horses and bulls.
