Description
Discover Cotopaxi National Park on horseback. Enjoy a 2-hour horseback ride through the Andean moorland, visit the Limpiopungo Lagoon, and admire one of Ecuador's most iconic volcanoes.
This sightseeing tour is specially designed for those who want to experience Cotopaxi National Park on horseback. The itinerary focuses on a two-hour horseback ride and a visit to the Limpiopungo Lagoon. If your goal is to ascend to the refuge, we also offer a specific experience designed for that activity.
Enjoy a different experience in Cotopaxi National Park with a horseback ride of approximately two hours through the impressive Andean moorland. This sightseeing tour is designed for those who want to enjoy the nature and landscapes of the volcano without trekking to the refuge, making the horseback ride the main activity.
We'll start with pick-up in Quito and then travel towards Cotopaxi National Park. During the journey, your tour guide will share information about the geography, flora, fauna, and importance of this protected area.
Upon arrival at the park, we will head to the starting point of the horseback ride, where you will meet the horses and receive a brief explanation about the route and the safety regulations. You don't have to be an expert rider; the horses are used to this type of route, and the ride is at a leisurely pace, accompanied by local staff.
For about two hours, you'll ride along trails surrounded by vast grasslands, with privileged views of the majestic Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. You'll have plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the pure air of the Andes.
After the horseback ride, we'll visit the beautiful Limpiopungo Lagoon, located within the national park. There we'll take a short and easy hike around the area to admire the landscape, observe Andean birds, and capture some of the best views of the volcano reflected in the lagoon, weather permitting.
Finally, we will begin the return to Quito, enjoying once again the spectacular landscapes of the Ecuadorian Andes.
This experience is ideal for nature lovers, families, couples, and travelers looking for a different way to discover Cotopaxi.
We recommend bringing warm clothes, a waterproof jacket, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cap or hat. Due to the altitude of the park, it is important to stay hydrated and walk at a leisurely pace during the stops.
If you have mobility restrictions, special needs, or little experience riding horses, please let us know before booking so we can help you confirm if this experience is right for you.
