What to expect
After we pick you up, we drive south of the city of Quito, down the Pan-American highway, in clear days is a very scenic drive with amazing views of different volcanoes, once we arrive at the entrance of the park, you have few minutes to use the facilities and to have some coca tea. Later we continue driving into the reserve all the way up to the Parqueadero at 15.000 feet. Cotopaxi volcano with over than 19.000 feet is the highest active volcano in Ecuador, and it is surrounded by some spectacular landscapes of valleys and other volcanoes. Our first DH ride will be down THE HOLY RIDGE trail, the first part would be on sandy volcanic material and steep trail, later we continue the single track on some rocks and then the moorlands full of grass, with some luck we might spot wild horses and the majestic Andean condor. We normally do 2 or 3 rides depending on your physical condition and weather. We return to Quito in the late afternoon.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
