Cotopaxi is one of Ecuadors most impressive natural occurrences. Towering at 5880m this Andean volcano’s crater is a spectacular 800metres in diameter found at the top of a brilliantly reflective snowcapped peak.

It is surrounded for miles by its own phenomenal creation; massive gray canyons carved by eruptions that happened many millions of years ago, in which still remain a scattering of lava rock.

These historical eruptions have created lands of such fertility they are amongst the many bio-diverse ecosystems in this beautiful country. These facts and many other influences have made Cotopaxi an internationally admired volcano.

For three years we have laboured to recover the original route, Cara Sur (south face), to the crater of Cotopaxi and share its marvelous surroundings with just a fortunate few.

We´ve built our adobe cabañas at 4000m, where we offer our hospitality in a comfortable and friendly environment in which experienced climbers and adventurers alike can acclimatize and relax. These cabañas are built in traditional Andean style and therefore they blend in perfectly to the surroundings. In one of the cabañas there is a communal area and kitchen with panoramic windows which offer you a stunning view over the impressive canyons and the surrounding volcanoes such as the Chimborazo 6310m, Illinizas 5266m, Tungurahua 5016m, Altar 5319m and the Sangay 5230m.

In further cabañas you find sleeping accommodations consisting of several comfortable bunkbeds and a fireplace. After a delicious, typically Ecuadorian meal you will gather around the warming fireplace to talk about the adventures of the day.

Currently we are constructing a sauna with cold and hot water showers. You can also get a relaxing massage there, after an enduring day from hiking or climbing.

At 4780m we have our fixed base camp, which offers our clients a second level of acclimatization before making the final trek to the crater of the impressive Cotopaxi.

Our tours offer you the opportunity to trek, admire and breath a barely touched landscape with its magnificent views of the Andean mountain range and its astonishing environment.

We hope to share this unique experience with you, one which we promise you will never forget.
