Discover the dramatic contrasts of Ecuador’s Andes on this full-day nature adventure from Quito, combining volcanic landscapes, high-altitude páramo, cloud forest, and a scenic waterfall.

Begin with convenient pickup and a scenic drive along the Avenue of the Volcanoes as your guide shares insights into Ecuador’s volcanic landscapes.

Arrive at Cotopaxi National Park, one of Ecuador’s most iconic natural attractions. Walk through the vast Andean páramo and admire close-up views of Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the world’s highest active volcanoes. Breathe in the crisp mountain air while taking in the striking volcanic scenery.

Continue to Limpiopungo Lagoon, a glacial lake inside the national park. Enjoy a gentle walk along the shoreline while watching for wild horses, Andean birds, and foxes, with panoramic views of the surrounding volcanoes.

Next, visit the Pasochoa Wildlife Refuge, a protected cloud forest growing inside the crater of an extinct volcano. Follow peaceful forest trails beneath towering trees, hanging moss, and dense vegetation, listening to birdsong and spotting native wildlife. This lush environment offers a beautiful contrast to the open páramo landscapes.

Stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll enjoy traditional Ecuadorian cuisine in a relaxed countryside setting.

In the afternoon, visit Cascada de Fuego, a picturesque waterfall surrounded by greenery. Walk the short trail, feel the refreshing mist, take photos, or simply relax in the tranquil natural surroundings.

After a full day of exploration, return to Quito in the early evening with hotel drop-off.
