Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon

I enjoyed the eventful packed day so much. I am a fairly fit 67 year old woman, but the high elevation of Cotopaxi takes a toll on ones lungs. Juan Pablo was very clear about the pacing necessary to ascend successfully and l felt l couldn't have asked for a better kinder guide. I had extended my flight return to my home for one day later so that I could have. Joanne Pablo be my guide as he was busy for the other days of my stay in Quito. I had read the reviews pertaining to him and very badly wanted him to be my guide. We then cross the Andes traveling through the most beautiful Indian villagers soaring mountains green fields. It was absolutely gorgeous. When we arrived at our last lake by the visibility the visibility was very poor, but the clouds did part just enough to give a hint of the lake. I had no desire to walk down to the bottom and ride a mule back up because I was just too exhausted by then. Juan Pablo delivered me to a Quito airport at the end of the tour and I flew home late that night. Very busy full day but so very worth it. If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to ask him to be your guide. And his English was very good so I learned a lot about Ecuador which was valuable.

Juan Paulo is an excellent guide, we have booked three tours with him and each has been unique, exciting and beautiful. Juan is very knowable and quick to respond to the needs of his clients. We we so fortunate to have great weather to be able to see and be a part of the beautiful scenery, food and local communities.

Two couples did this tour with Juan Pablo. He is an excellent guide - knowledgeable, helpful and good humoured. He made excellent recommendations for unique accommodations and places to eat. All of us enjoyed our tour, learned more about Ecuador and highly recommend Juan Pablo.

If you are looking for a tour with a high level of activity...this is it. Juan Pablo was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible.

Our tour was amazing thanks to Juan Pablo. It was all customized since we were a little over scheduled that day. We got to see everything promised and more. I will definitely use their services again. Great experience!

Juan Pablo took us to Cotopaxi and Quilotoa Lagoon, then drove us to Baños for the night. The wind was blowing and cold, but Juan Pablo walked with our grandson, Weston, up to the shelter so Weston could see Cotopaxi close up! We (grandparents) chose not to go! What a great guide! Then we stopped for delicious lunch at a local restaurant! Yummy food!!! Following that, we drove to Quilotoa Lagoon! Again, Juan Pablo was so kind! He walked with me to make sure I didn’t fall on the slippery slopes. We didn’t go to the bottom, but he took some great pictures for us. After that, we shopped the little market of locally made items. We stopped for ice cream that was from Saledo (?) . Then continued to Baños for the night. Juan Pablo is amazing! He goes way above and beyond expectations! What a blessing he was to our family. I highly, highly recommend him as a guide!
