Top 10 Day Tours Ecuador

Cotopaxi Volcano is the most iconic place in Ecuador and one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. It is located about two hours from Quito. Visiting Cotopaxi National Park is the perfect destination for hiking, photography, and mountaineering, offering spectacular landscapes with lagoons, Andean páramo, and wildlife such as wild horses.

Quilotoa is a beautiful turquoise lagoon inside the crater of an old volcano. We love it because its colors change with the sunlight, and the Andean landscape around it is very special. It’s a place that always surprises you, whether you walk along the crater rim or go down to the edge of the lagoon.

Cotopaxi and Quilotoa are two of my favorite places in the Ecuadorian Andes. Cotopaxi impresses with its perfect shape and snow-covered summit, while Quilotoa surprises with its turquoise lagoon inside a volcanic crater. Together, they make an amazing mix of adventure and unique landscapes—from walking in Cotopaxi National Park to enjoying the magical views of the Quilotoa crater. It’s an experience We always recommend.
