This was an excellent tour, taking in Cotopaxi and Quilotoa, as well as Baños. We were able to walk up Cotopaxi as far as the Refugio, which was fun but challenging. We visited two stunning waterfalls and crossed a valley in a small cable car, to reach the village on the other side, where we had a walk through a lush area of fruit trees. We were awed by the thundering Devil’s Cauldron waterfall and did a walk around the area and over a suspension bridge. It was fun to visit the tree house and the swing in the Cloud Forest and the gardens there were beautiful. We also visited the lagoon in Quilotoa crater and had a dip in the hot springs at Baños. It was altogether a memorable tour and Diego was a very good guide.Show more
