All about the 4-Day Condor Trekking.

The “Condor Trekking” is one of the most beautiful and diverse trekkings, starting near Papallacta and ending in the famous Cotopaxi National Park, close to the impressive Cotopaxi volcano. You will be picked up and dropped of in Quito with our private transportation.

NOTE: At the moment it is not allowed to climb to the mountain peak of the Cotopaxi volcano (because of the warning of activity). Therefore, the trekking takes 4 days and does not include the climbing of the Cotopaxi volcano. As soon as the warning is reduced and it is allowed to climb the Cotopaxi, we can offer an extension of this trekking with the mountain climbing of the Cotopaxi. Until today, we can enjoy the beautiful view of the Cotopaxi volcano from the foot of the mountain, near the Limpiopungo Lagoon.
