Great 2 days - Really great 2 days, started with Cotopaxi and went to Quilotoa the next day. They arranged a hotel for 1 night too and it was a very nice place. The tour guide was helpful too.

Incredible views - Amazing tour. A combination of the Cotopaxi Hike & Bike tour and the Quilotoa hike day trips. You will stay overnight in Machachi which is closer to these attractions and saves some travel time. The hikes are challenging. The biking in Cotopaxi is not that difficult and was a lot of fun after the difficult hike. Anthony was our guide the first day and Stui the second day and both were great.

Must Do: Quilotoa & Cotopaxi - 2 excellent days.... 1st day with our trip to Quilotoa with our guide "Stui" - estuardo and our really nice Driver (WE can't remember the Name) - but both of them, did make it a Special Trip... Timing was perfect - so we were lucky to visit Quilotoa with sunshine :) The Seconds day we were accompanied again by Antony and Alex - we already did 2 Daytours with them. No more words needed - it was a nice, though exthausting trip, with lovely people .... :) 100% recommandation for Ecosportours and their fabolous Guides and drivers :)

Amazing time - I had a really great time doing these two tours. I went to Quilotoa with Joel and to Cotopaxi with Joel and Victor. I had some issues with the altitude and the guides were great in keeping an eye out for safety. Both places are absolutely stunnig! The tours are very laid-back, if you decide not to do the full trails it is completely fine to stop before the end, no one is pushing you to do it if you don't feel safe. The mountainbiking in Cotopaxi was definitely a highlight. Both times the groups I was in were very welcoming and the overall atmosphere in these tours were amazing! Would definitely recommend doing these tours, but make sure to be acclimatized to the altitude first.

A Must-Do in Ecuador - Overall, I had an amazing experience and appreciate our amazing guides for everything they did to made sure we were prepared and had a great time. Everything throughout each day ran seamlessly. Cotopaxi and Quilotoa both require some hiking experience and proper hiking gear/footwear is definitely recommended! 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone!

So much fun!! Great way to explore ecuador from quito. - SO MUCH FUN!! An Ecuadorian adventure with well-knowledgeable and good humored guides. Hiked up to Cotopaxi base camp and a bit more unfortunately due to unexpected snowfall we didn’t make it to the glacier, but we mountain biked and had a fantastic stay at a local hotel. Only downside was if you hiked down to the lake at Quilotoa there wasn’t much time to kayak or sit around since the hike back up was pretty hard and long. Great weekend highly recommend!!

Excellent tour for an express visit to Ecuador - I spent 2 amazing days on this tour. It was very easy from the beginning thanks to the attention of Valeria who answered all my doubts by email. During the tour, guide Joel was extremely friendly and attentive to all the people in the group (about 10), and also knows a lot about the region and the local culture. We were also joined by 2 drivers, Ramiro on the 1st and Alex on the 2nd, also very much looking forward to everything.
