Cotopaxi Mountain Biking
With more than 50 kilometers of trails and jeep tracks the high
paramo surrounding Cotopaxi is a premier area for mountain biking.
Combined with camping 3 days this area can be enjoyed at any time
of the year.
Leaving Quito early the first morning we cycle on country lanes
passing through the farmlands approaching the Cotopaxi Volcano.
Our 4x4 jeep support vehicles carry all our camping equipment leaving
us free to explore the dramatic countryside.
Often groups like to visit the refuge on the mountain, a basic
hut used by climbers located at nearly 5000 meters. Returning to
camp we have a breathtaking downhill run. We ride passing
the permanent snows and glaciers that surround the refuge, down
past the lahas carpeted by plants and flowers of the Andes and finally
reaching our campsite at just under 4000 meters.
