What Our Travelers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 113 reviews Danna2025-02-13Verified Unforgettable Mountaineering Adventure with Cotopaxi: A Trustworthy and Exceptional Experience texto: Our group of friends had an unforgettable experience climbing Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. The organization was outstanding, with expert guides ensuring our safety and making the journey both challenging and rewarding. The breathtaking views, the camaraderie, and the sense of achievement at high altitude made this adventure truly special. Cotopaxi is a highly reliable company that provides top-quality service, making us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the expedition. We highly recommend this expedition to anyone looking for an incredible mountaineering experience! Mountain Guide Traveller2025-02-13Verified Great experencie of the 🌋 Volcanes in Ecuador We had a unique and unforgettable experience with Cotopaxi Travel, and we highly recommend them for your future adventures. Their professionalism, expertise, and passion for the mountains made our journey truly exceptional. If you're planning a trip to Ecuador, especially to explore Cotopaxi and the surrounding areas, Cotopaxi Travel is the perfect choice! photo_runner2024-12-26Verified Fantastic Support for a Big Bicycle Ride Fernando helped me out with a strange request on very short notice. I needed a support driver for a massive 6 hour bicycle climb, and he provided me with Milton, who was a friendly, helpful, attentive, and intuitive assistant on a very tough weather day. I would not have finished the ride without him.I felt safe with Milton who was a good driver and had a lot of local knowledge. I will use Cotopaxi Travel again when I return to Ecuador for more adventures. Claire B2024-08-02Verified Beautiful and gruelling summit We had an amazing time doing the gruelling Cotopaxi volcano summit. We had Maurice as our guide who was encouraging, patient and informative which allowed us to appreciate the beautiful views of the sunrise and of the panoramic views of several other mountains, clouds and valleys from the top of the glacier. The company was very organised in providing us good mountaineering equipment and the lodge we stayed at was comfortable and had delicious food. But be prepared, depending on the season, there are steep icy, gravel faces of the mountain to summit that are not for the faint hearted. Going down is also tricky as it is very slippery but our guide was pragmatic and showed us the correct technique. It is a long fatiguing summit that is quite technical in parts but well worth the visit! Peter K2024-07-31Verified Professional, individual, personable We had a wonderful time with Fernando. The organization was perfect, the material excellent and the atmosphere super friendly. We were on the summit of Cotopaxi and in the high camp of Chimborazo. Even if avalanche risk prevented a climb to the summit, the days were an unforgettable experience. The stay in El Chaupi at the end with a meal together in the family was then the crowning conclusion. Muchas gracias y con saludos cordiales Peter KleinP.S.: We experienced the security situation as very pleasant: In the city a tremendously large presence and density of security forces and in the countryside only friendly and helpful people. Ecuador is highly recommended, Cotopaxi Travel especially. Robert B2024-03-03Verified Best summits ever with the best guild in Ecuador! Where to begin, simply amazing. Fernando was hands down one of the best guilds I have had the pleasure of summiting with. The whole trip was very well planned out and the spots he put me up in were just incredible. From the natural hot springs (after all the families left you have the entire place to yourself) to banos was beyond my expectations.I did four summits and they were some of the best of my life! You cannot go wrong with Fernando! He puts you up in his home outside of the city so it is very peaceful and relaxing and his wife is an amazing cook! Plus you’ll meet other climbers and hikers as well. Six stars! Usman R2023-12-26Verified Navigating New Heights: My Tailored 8-Day Adventure with Cotopaxi Travel Experience: 8-day personalized mountaineering adventure in Ecuador.Highlights: Expert instruction, flexible itinerary, exceptional punctuality and communication, top-notch equipment and safety measures.Accommodation: Comfortable and serene, slightly remote.Instruction: Outstanding, focused on practical skills, safety, and confidence building.Overall: Highly recommended for a professional, comprehensive, and attentive mountaineering experience.______________Detailed Review: My 8-day mountaineering trip with Cotopaxi Travel in Ecuador was an extraordinary experience that went beyond my expectations in every way.Adaptive Itinerary and Expert Guidance: Our initial itinerary included Quilotoa Lake, Carihaurazo, and an ambitious plan to summit Chimborazo. However, our guide astutely recommended a change, shifting the focus to include intensive training and a summit of Cayambe instead of Chimborazo. This adjustment, based on my experience and skill level, significantly enhanced my chances of success and overall enjoyment. His flexibility and tailored approach to my needs made a profound difference in my experience.Exceptional Instruction and Safety Focus: The instruction I received was nothing short of outstanding. The guide’s deep knowledge of mountaineering techniques and safety was matched by his ability to teach these skills with clarity and patience. This significantly increased my confidence and understanding of mountaineering.Equipment and Safety Protocols: The attention to equipment and safety protocols was impeccable. From thorough equipment checks to cautious decision-making on the mountain, every step was taken to ensure the highest standards of safety. The quality of gear provided was top-notch, offering a wide range of options and ensuring nothing was overlooked.Accommodation and Comfort: Our accommodations, though slightly remote, offered a peaceful environment, perfect for rest and relaxation after a day of climbing. The serenity of the location contributed greatly to the overall experience.Punctuality and Communication: The guide's punctuality and transparent communication were remarkable. His consistent reliability, regardless of the time (5AM departure to 11PM arrival), greatly contributed to the smooth flow of our expedition.Personal Touches: The personal touches, such as meeting the guide’s family, added warmth to the experience. It was clear that my enjoyment and learning were a priority, and this was reflected in every aspect of the trip.Advice for Future Travelers: For those with specific dietary preferences, it's advisable to bring additional snacks or arrange for suitable meals. As someone with a predominantly meat-based diet, I found this to be a helpful tip.Conclusion: Overall, Cotopaxi Travel provides a professional, well-organized, and deeply fulfilling mountaineering experience. Their dedication to safety, coupled with personalized attention, makes them a top choice for anyone looking to explore the mountains of Ecuador. Trish LeMarquand2023-12-01Verified 8 day tour with Cotopaxi Travel I had a great experience with Cotopaxi travel. The weather wasn’t always the best but we did get some pretty amazing views from some of the summits. The guides gave us everything we needed to succeed and to be prepared. The lunches were very good as well as lodging. Our 8 day climb tour was well organized and put together. Transport was all organized for us as well as after the tour to our final destination. I had a really great time , thank you all for the experience. Caroline Toledo2023-11-24Verified Ascensions to volcanoes with all infrastructure My husband and I visited 5 volcanoes in Ecuador with Cotopaxi Travel, including Chimborazo (6270m) which was our main goal! During the trip we stayed at Lodge Ilinizia North, from the same company as Cotopaxi Travel! Everything was excellent: the guides, the food, the stay at the Lodge, the service and the friendliness! I highly recommend it! JUAN G2023-11-16Verified Guaranteed adventure in a quiet and local place We did the full 9-day tour. Recommended if you want to have a broad vision of both the landscapes of Ecuador and its people and mountains, although visiting so many places can be difficult due to the kilometers by car that have to be traveled and the state of the roads. It is perfect to be able to acclimatize well and rest adequately between one summit and another. The Ilinizas Mountain Lodge is very good. Traditional and homemade food, adapting some dishes to a more international level. The rooms are modern and cozy. Try to simulate a mountain refuge like the ones you can find in the alps or the pyrenees. Well-organized tour by Cotopaxi Travel, a family-owned and easy-going company, always trying to find solutions to any problem or possible improvement.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
