Package Overview

Cotopaxi鈥檚 Shape is the Most Beautiful and Regular of all the Colossal Peaks in the High Andes. It is a Perfect Cone Covered By a Thick Blanket of Snow Which Shines So Brilliantly At Sunset, It Seems Detached from the Azure of the Sky."
alexander Von Humbolt, 1802.
Cotopaxi is Without Any Doubt, One of the Most Beautiful Mountains of the World. Due to Its Geographical Position It Has More Clear Days Than Any of the other High Mountains in Ecuador.
Nowadays, It Has Become the Most Popular Mountain Not Only of Ecuador, But of the Whole Andes Chain. In Quichua Language the Name Cotopaxi Supposedly Means the "necklace of the Moon".

Normal Route On the West Facefrom the 4.800 M / 15,750 Ft Hut We Ascend Moderate Glacier Slopes to the Summit. Along the Way However, Complex Crevasse Patterns and Snow Bridge Crossings Over Deep Crevasses Make the Climb Interesting. After Passing Through a Heavily Crevassed Area We Reach the Final Summit Slope. Here a Challenging Section of 35-40 Degree Snow Leads to the Abrupt Finish of the Climb On the Crater Rim of the World's Highest Active Volcano.
The Climb Normally Takes Six Hours and the Descent Two Hours. The Volcano鈥檚 Last Strongest Eruption Was in 1877, and Caused Serious Damages Even Down By the Coast, Hundreds of Kilometres Away.
