Before you go

Is the price per person or per group?

Per vehicle, for your whole group. The more of you, the less each one pays.

Will the altitude affect me?

Quito is already at 2,850 m. Save Cotopaxi, Quilotoa and Papallacta for your second or third day, drink water, and you'll be fine.

Are entrance fees included?

Entrance fees, hot springs and cable cars are paid on site, so you only pay for what you choose to do. We tell you the prices before you go.

How do I pay?

On the day, in cash (USD) or by bank transfer. Prefer card or PayPal? We'll send you a secure payment link.
