Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi

Ecuador - South America

Towering as one of the world's highest peaks and Ecuador's second-tallest at an imposing 5,897 meters (19,347 feet) above sea level, the majestic active volcano Cotopaxi stands as an emblem of Ecuadorian wilderness. Its nearly perfect conical form, a globally recognized icon, dominates the Andean landscape with its awe-inspiring presence.
Surrounded by expansive páramos (high-altitude grasslands) and lush valleys, Cotopaxi offers an unparalleled natural environment. The pure, fresh air, a product of the altitude and the absence of pollution, invigorates the senses and renews the spirit.

Ascending the Volcano: A challenging yet rewarding adventure for mountaineering enthusiasts. Reaching the summit of Cotopaxi and gazing upon the landscape from its crater is an unforgettable and unique experience.
