Our experience with Cotopaxi Travel was amazing. We (my 16 yo son and I) spent a week with Fernando as our guide and did 3 acclimatization hikes and a successful Cotopaxi climb. Communication was easy, and the trip was planned perfectly. Fernando read and understood our strengths and weaknesses after the first few hikes and used that insight to guide us up the mountain. We stayed most nights at the El Chaupi hostel, and it was very comfortable, a great experience. If you have this opportunity, definitely do it! His family is lovely and the meals were delicious. Was an unforgettable experience and we truly appreciate Cotopaxi Travel and Fernando for the guidance and hospitality

Definitely one of the best experiences of my life.

Both the acclimatization process in the Pasochoa, Corazón and Iliniza Norte volcanoes, as well as the rest days in the Quilotoa Lagoon and in Baños with special treatment at Don Fernando's house in El Chaupi, served as motivation to reach the summits of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo.

An adventure that I will always remember with great pride and affection.
I am very grateful to Don Fernando, Don Wily and the other guides who made this dream possible.

Very good experience overall with a very professional and experienced guide. I m not going to lie: it’s a hard hike and the way down is pretty intense as well but this is all part of the experience. I recommend it for every hiker in a good physical shape.
