Una experiencia inolvidable Desde el inicio Verónica y el conductor, fueron muy cálidos, en el trayecto Verónica nos fue explicando todo con muchos detalles y en ambos idiomas (español e inglés) al llegar al Parque Nacional Cotopaxi la experiencia fue alucinante, el camino demanda su sacrificio y me encantó que cuando por algunas circunstancias nos quedabamos atrás ella siempre nos esperaba y nos daba ánimos igualmente nos daba tips para hacerlo más llevadero!! También cuando necesitábamos algunas fotos siempre estaba dispuesta ❤️❤️❤️Recomendado al 100% Gracias Verónica y Carlos por mostrarnos su país de una manera tan maravillosa!

Visita a Mindo Fuimos en tour a Mindo. El viaje fue muy grato y bien explicado por el guía Carlos. ¡Hasta un tucán logramos ver!, realmente nos quedamos muy felices. Gracias a Andrés también por la conducción y traernos a salvo.

Great full day trip Please beware that this is indeed a very hard hike due to altitude. Also given that you will be walking on volcano ash consider having shoes and socks to change into. Be prepared for a long and tiring but fulfilling day!Jessy and jimmy (our driver) we’re awesome. Jessy did a great job sharing information about Cotapaxi and Ecuador in general. She also really created a warm and friendly atmosphere in the group and made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. The stops on the tour are well thought out and Jessy was able to accommodate requests and changes needed with grace and competence.

Quito Tour Bus - Cotopaxi full day tour with guides Jessica and Mauricio. We’ve just completed an amazing day trip to Cotopaxi. Our guide, Jessy, was energetic and fun and gave a thorough orientation to the national park. She encouraged me to do the climb, though I was struggling with thin air and I’m so glad I did! Muchas gracias, Jessica and Mauricio!
