The Cotopaxi volcano provides a stunning landscape. If you don’t have a car it is easier to organise via an agency. The hotel called the agency for us and since we don’t stop for lunch we paid 90$ f… Full review by mariellette2022

Despite being an avid cyclist for several years, I found the air was light and my energy level dropped below my expectations. Prior to the climb, I had spent about a third of my 3 weeks in Ecuador hiking at high altitudes. Give it a go! If you plan to summit, check out the outfitters in the area for the proper gear.
For those of you who have already been, roughly how cold does it get? girlfriend and I are in Ecuador and want to go Cotopaxi (not summit though, just around 5000m day trip) but don't have winter jackets with us, we have long sleeves, hoodies, light jackets, if we layer up and buy gloves/hats do you think this will suffice?? thanks for your help!
A:
Be careful. Unless you are acclimated, a short trip to a much higher altitude can leave you with altitude sickness that may leave you with severe headaches.
Hi, I am planning to take the bus from Quito to Latacunga and stop at Cotopaxi National Park. Are there always guides waiting with 4x4? and is it possible to leave some heavy bags in their cars while hicking up the volcano? many thanks.

Hi . I am not sure as I booked the trip from the Hotel and we were picked up from the Magic Bean in Quito .we travelled up to the snow line of Cotopaxi . We didn't hike to the refuge we stayed at the snow line . There is a visitor centre about a mile away . You may be able to leave your bags there The journey to the snow line is a hell of a hike . and it is a dirt track road . I suggest you get to the snow line by transport then trek up to the refuge . It would be too much to do both in one day
HI, is the volcano in constant eruption and the snow is that only in winter ? many Thanks
