The Route of the Condor 2 dayS
Rising majestically from the eastern cordillera of the Andes, Cotopaxi is Ecuador's most famous volcano. Edward Whymper, the first to ascend Cotopaxi, claimed its 19.342 ft symmetrical cone made it the most perfectly shaped mountain in the world. Climbing it has now become a prerequisite for any mountaineer aspiring to higher peaks.
Technically it is not a difficult mountain but, due to its cloud-piercing height, it is essential that climbers are well acclimatised, as well as physically and mentally prepared. Ice- climbing gear is also required. From its summit Cotopaxi offers a spectacular panorama; on a clear day all of Ecuador's other snow-capped peaks can be seen, as well the Amazon basin.
The gas-emitting crater, almost 800m in diameter, will certainly remind climbers that they are standing on an active volcano-one that is long overdue to erupt! More details...

untouched nature. The volcano is situated about 30 km East of

luggage on to mules and we will be ready to start this lifetime
adventure. We will hike towards the Lagoon Verde and Pinada which
have been developed from the great amount of melted snow and ice
of the mountain. These two lagoons got their names based on the
fact that they have various and strong colours which depend on
the different materials they have. The most beautiful lagoon is
surely the yellow crater-lagoon, which is in the inside of the
Altar volcano. The breathtaking beauty of this volcano and its
