A good experience, although not quite warranting five stars. The guides were informative and chatty and did what they could to make the trip interesting. Didn't get a clear view of the summit, but that of course was beyond anyone's control. But in essence it's a drive to a parking lot and a hike up a cinder slope to a lodge, with quite a number of other people.

Fun, exciting, strenuous day led by Daniel together with Paulina and Irene (the local guides at Cotopaxi) and Ivan (driver, omg, how did he manage on some of the roads!). Well organized, informative, exciting, memories for a lifetime. Food good, bus very nice, friendly and supportive (dang, that walk up..) Thank you!!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Stopped at a nice ranch for breakfast and lunch with a beautiful view of Cotopaxi. Also stopped at at natural history museum for coca tea which is supposed to help with altitude illness (it was delicious and gave me a nice energy boost). Unfortunately, the hike was very cloudy and we didn't get a chance to see cotopaxi, but those of us that were not suffering from altitude illness got to trek up to the glacier. Very knowledgable staff that made the experience fun!
