Private Cotopaxi for Beginners: Highland Riding and the Walk to 4,864 m
A private day in Cotopaxi National Park, built for people who have not done either half before. The riding is done in the highlands, at a pace that suits a first-timer rather than a rider. The walk goes up to the José Ribas refuge at 4,864 m, 15,958 ft, which is a serious altitude over a short distance, and the plants and animals of the páramo are along the way. Cotopaxi is the highest active volcano in South America, and it is close enough to Quito to be done and undone in a day. The group is your own. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
