1st day: Quito – Cotopaxi – Riobamba

Pick up from your hotel. Then we drive south through the Avenue of Volcanoes. First stop is the Cotopaxi National Park, located at the base of the Cotopaxi Volcano. Cotopaxi means "throat of fire" in indigenous language, and its incredible eruptions gave it this name. It is considered the highest active volcano in the world. First we visit the interpretation center and Limpiopungo lake (paramo grasslands / Ecuadorian equivalent of the arctic tundra), drive up to 4800m (15.000 ft) and trek up to Padre Rivas mountain climbing refuge (1 hour hiking). You will have the opportunity to touch and lay on the snow.

Optional lunch at the colonial hacienda La Ciénega an old hacienda of the XVII century. Then we continue to the Andean city of Riobamba, cradle of the Ecuadorian nationality and popularly known as “Frio-bamba” because it is surrounded by the majestic snow-covered volcano Chimborazo - the highest peak in Ecuador at 6310 m (20700 feet).
