The Cotopaxi National Park is an ecological sanctuary of 36,000 hectares (88,920 acres) surrounding Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world, specially attractive for nature lovers, with the treeless vegetation of the Andean moorlands or páramo. Bird life includes the Andean gull, ducks, several species of hummingbirds and with some luck, the condor. Look directly up the magnificent Cotopaxi Volcano, rising 6,005 meters (19,700 feet). Lunch at the very heart of breathtaking landscapes or at a hosteria or hacienda nearby before returning to Quito.
Entrance fee to Cotopaxi National Park is extra.
