About us
Local guides from Machachi
A local travel agency at the foot of the Andes, the closest town to Cotopaxi National Park.
Who we are
Cotopaxi is our backyard
Cotopaxi Day Tours is a local travel agency based in Machachi, south of Quito and the closest town to Cotopaxi National Park. All our tours start and end at our office in Machachi, and we can pick you up in Quito or other cities for an extra cost.
We know the road into the park, the trails around Limpiopungo and the walk up to the José Rivas Refuge, and we plan every day around the weather and your group, so you enjoy the altitude safely.
Our tours are private or in small groups, with local guides who share the stories of the volcano and the Andean highlands.
What we care about
How we travel
Safety first
We check the weather and the trail before going up, and the guide decides how far to go on the day.
Your pace
Private or small-group tours planned around your group, with time to stop and breathe at altitude.
Clear prices
The price per person for your group is on every tour page. Nothing to pay until your tour is confirmed.
