This brief yet delightful tour allows you to explore two of Ecuador's most famous landmarks: Quilotoa Lake and Cotopaxi National Park.

During the journey, you'll pass through two remote and charming villages—Chugchilán on the second day and Isinliví on the third. While these small communities may not be as widely known as others, they are incredibly picturesque and offer a sense of tranquility.

Additionally, you'll experience the beauty of Toachi Canyon during this trip, enjoying a two-day trekking segment before concluding in the iconic Cotopaxi National Park, the country's most celebrated protected area. Your adventure begins with a visit to one of the most stunning capitals in Latin America, Quito, situated at 2,800 meters (9,186 feet). This will be a brief but unforgettable experience.
