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)
