Itinerary
We depart from Quito driving south through the inter-Andean valleys
until we reach the Cotopaxi National Park entrance. We explore the park
looking out for wildlife while driving by many volcanoes in the area
such as Ilinizas, Sincholagua, RumiƱahui and Pasochoa. We reach
Limpiopungo Glacier Lake where we prepare our mountain bikes to ride
through with spectacular highland plateaus while observing highland
(paramo) vegetation and fauna, such as llamas, wild horses, ducks,
gulls and even the magnificent Condor. We ride mostly downhill to
compensate for the high altitude until we reach the Pucara Inca Ruins.
After a nutritious lunch and snacks we return to Quito arriving in the
afternoon. (L)
