It was such an amazing and unreal experience! Horseback riding while seeing Cotopaxi from behind was truly breathtaking and such a serene experience. We learned about the history of the chagras from Dario and got to wear some ponchos and chaps as well to make the experience all the more fun! Dario was truly an amazing guide, including the hike up to Cotopaxi base camp. The hike was difficult, but manageable with Dario as our tour guide encouraging us along! The views were stunning and the hot chocolate at the end hit the spot. An experience unlike any other!! i would highly recommend booking with this tour group :-)

I love the tour and Paulina! She is so knowledgeable and so cute! She has such a big heart! I was struggling when we got up to the base but she made sure to help whenever she noticed I was struggling. I also lost my GoPro and this beautiful group of people where so nice and honest that they managed to get it to me the next day (all my videos were here). Again a HUGE THANK YOU TO Paulina and Rojo you both made this trip so memorable to me. Love, Yaki

It is a great activity to see the Cotopaxi mountain. The horseback riding is truly magical! The hike was quite heavy for someone untrained and unfit and from a very flat country like me, but even I made it. Our host made sure I was okay and we went at our tempo. The view is spectacular though. Special thanks to our hosts who went the extra mile to arrange our drop-off ❤️

The communication in advance of the experience was excellent, with advice on what to bring and when we would be picked up. The approach to Cotopaxi park was beautiful and definitely unique. All of the necessary items for the horseback riding were provided with instructions given and a great opportunity for photos with Cotopaxi in the background. The host Darío was very experienced and knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. The hike up Cotopaxi was a little challenging but Darío made sure to incorporate stops as anyone in our party needed them. Overall the experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

This is truly a magical trip the landscape are incredibly beautiful. We entered the park from the non tourist side so you get to see a different view than most travelers The horseback riding was nothing short of amazing and great guide thank you Kevin. He took pictures of me riding and at different outlooks. I even dropped my wallet along the way with literally everything in it and he rode back and found it which was huge for me. Jorge was great at communicating pickup and what to bring he great to talk to and very informative the hike was nice not to long up Cotopaxi to base camp where we had lunch then back down the mountain and out the main way for different views. I would absolutely recommend this trip we saw Hawks foxes lamas and deer along the way and the views are stunning nothing like I've seen before. Thank Jorge and team for a wonderful day.
