Once inside the National Park, we walk towards the Jose Rivas refuge, which is 4897 m, here we will rest a bit to recharge our energy. Once this is done, we will walk a bit more until we reach the glaciers, at a total altitude of 5000 m. On the way back to the parking lot, we will take our bikes to make the descent to the Laguna Limpiopungo. (It’s an optional activity)
Once in the lagoon of Limpiopungo, if the weather permits, we can take a beautiful photograph of Cotopaxi. After visiting the lagoon, we will take the bus to the restaurant, where we will have our well-deserved lunch. After a day full of adventures, we will take a break and return to Quito.
