Cotopaxi National Park is located in the eastern mountain range of the Andes. Cotopaxi is the second-highest volcano in Ecuador with a height of 5897 meters. It is surrounded by other mountains such as Sincholagua, Pasochoa, and Rumiñahui, all within the avenue of volcanoes. With its wonderful symmetrical shape, it is an excellent stratovolcano, translated from Quichua into Spanish as the neck of the moon.

I can't say enough about this tour, and Carolina and Pedro.
They picked us up from our hotel on time and we headed to the Cotopaxi.
We had plenty of stops along the way for snacks and beverages.
They were very patient with us during the hike, as I was suffering from a bit of altitude sickness. Views were unbelievable. Be prepared though, it was a physical challenge for me, and I hike regularly.
The lunch choices were excellent.
The care they provided to ensure we had a great time was phenomenal.
Don't hesitate to book this tour. You won't be sorry.

We had an amazing day. David was an excellent guide. The hike to Refugio Jose Rivas wasn't easy but we were so pleased that we did it, and David showed us the best routes. Wonderful views of Cotopaxi. Highly recommended.

Veronica did a great job as our guide. Unfortunately for us the weather did not cooperate on our day, so be absolutely prepare for cold or rain. We saw the volcano as we hiked but it got socked in with weather as we got to the top of the hike. The bus Ride was quite memorable. We did get to see an Andean Fox and the Caracara in the park. The views from the lagoon were pretty good also.

Our guide was a superb guy! The trail was very difficult to me and my wife, since we have zero experience climbing mountains. Even with all the difficulties related to our (bad) physical condition, the view is awesome and our guide saved us from more than one possible - and potentially terrible - fall. They picked us at the hotel at the right time and returned us safely to the hotel. For all of this, I recommend the Real Dreams Tour.

Awesome experience, did a great job accounting for different hiking and altitude adaptation so we had an amazing day. Pedro was super knowledgeable about the area which really enhanced the experience.

Pedro and Franklin really went the extra mile to make sure we had a good experience.

We had a wonderfull day !!
We were just 2 with our friendly guide Pedro !!
We went to 5000m to the glacier, which was really impressive !!
Then we came black through the refuge and down to the parking lot.
We had a nice walk near the Lagoon to sée some birds.
And even the restaurant was perfect (really good and we get the chance to feed some alpagas : -)

Pedro was am amazing tour guide, and I could not have imagined a better one. He was knowledgeable, kind, easy going, and a very pleasant individual to be around for a day. The climb to the base camp was challenging yet very rewarding. We are not in the best shape and not accustomed to a high altitude; consequently, we were a bit slow on the ascent. However, Pedro was patient and encouraging. I highly recommend this tour and Pedro for a tour guide!

We did the Cotopaxi tour and Pedro was a great guide. He is very friendly and personable. He found spots to photograph on the way to Cotopaxi which was great. He gave us time to enjoy and is very knowledgeable about flowers, volcanos and Ecuador. We drove to the end of the park road to see cotopaxi. Then we walked awhile around the lake and saw some birds. We had logistical problems with our luggage from our flight to Ecuador and he was very helpful in talking to the airlines to help solve them. Lunch was included and very good. A very enjoyable experience.

Pedro was a great tour guide and thought of everything! He made sure I had vegetarian options for lunch, and we even fed a llama at the restaurant. The volcano is absolutely stunning, and this tour is so worth it.
