Full-Day Cotopaxi National Park: Volcano and Limpiopungo Lagoon
Discover two of Ecuador’s most iconic treasures in a single day: the elegance of its world-famous roses and the majesty of Cotopaxi Volcano. Your day begins with hotel pick-up and a visit to a rose plantation in the fertile southern valleys, where you’ll learn about cultivation, selection, and export while admiring unique, vibrant, and fragrant varieties up close. Next, we explore Cotopaxi National Park, home to one of the country’s most iconic active volcanoes. Enjoy a scenic walk around Laguna de Limpiopungo, surrounded by Andean birds and páramo landscapes, and, weather permitting, ascend to José Rivas Refuge at over 4,800 meters (15,750 ft) to witness the volcano’s breathtaking grandeur. Along the way, savor a pause with a local herbal infusion and a typical mountain lodge lunch before returning to the city with unforgettable memories of aromas, landscapes, and Andean traditions.
