We will drive along the Panamericana highway well-known as “The Volcanoes Avenue” towards the world’s highest active volcano, Cotopaxi (5,897 meters). During the trip, we will be delighted by the impressive view of different mountains and volcanoes, such as the Pasochoa, the Illinizas, and the Sincholagua.

 

After crossing a Pine forest, we will arrive in Limpiopungo Lake (Clean Lake) which is located 3,800 meters above sea level along the slopes of the magnificent Cotopaxi Volcano. If you wish, we can drive further to the parking lot located at 4,500 meters in order to hike up to the Rivas Refuge at 4,800 meters.
