Visit two of the most photographed landscapes in Ecuador, the Cotopaxi Volcano and the Quilotoa Lagoon.
You'll depart early in the morning and enjoy a panoramic drive through the Panamerican Highway, admiring the diverse ecosystems on the way and a clear sign of the majesty of the Andes. You'll arrive at the Cotopaxi National Park, home of the impressive Cotopaxi volcano, the highest and most active in the world, which had its last activity in 2015. If the weather permits, you can appreciate the glacier, its white color that embellishes the colossus will leave you breathless, due to its almost perfect conical shape is considered the twin of Mount Fuji in Japan.
Next, you'll reach the Quilotoa Volcano, which has in its crater a striking turquoise lagoon, making it one of the most beautiful and photographed landscapes of Ecuador. You'll take a short hike to appreciate the magnificent view of the volcano (if weather conditions allow) and lastly, you'll have free time for lunch (not included) and return to Quito in the afternoon.
