点评:The Cotopaxi volcano provides a stunning landscape.
If you don’t have a car it is easier to organise via an agency. The hotel called the agency for us and since we don’t stop for lunch we paid 90$ for 2 adults and 1 child (7 years old).
We first toured the laguna de Limpiopungo. A great stop. We toured the lake in about 45 minutes. It is easy and flat,
Then we went up to the car park at the bottom of Cotopaxi and we walked up to the refuge. Our son, who usually is a good hiker, did not manage to even start the walk due to the lack of oxygen. He clearly needs longer than 12 days to get acclimatised. He therefore stayed in the car with the guide and walked up and down to the refuge in 35 minutes, 1 hour with stops for photos.
After this our guide dropped us off a bit before the interpretation centre and we walked along the Páramo trail for 10 minutes. Then we visited the interpretation centre, which is great for kids but none of the electronics worked, which is a shame.
Overall it was a great day as the clouds cleared up and we got to see the volcano, which is absolutely majestic and beautiful.

如果您没有车,通过代理机构安排会更容易。酒店帮我们联系了代理机构,因为我们不停下来吃午饭,所以我们为 2 名成人和 1 名儿童(7 岁)支付了 90 美元。
我们首先游览了 Limpiopungo 湖。这是一个很棒的停留点。我们花了大约 45 分钟游览了湖泊。它很容易,而且很平坦,
然后我们去了科托帕希山脚下的停车场,然后步行到避难所。我们的儿子通常是一名优秀的徒步旅行者,但由于缺氧,他甚至无法开始步行。他显然需要超过 12 天的时间才能适应。因此,他和导游一起留在车里,在 35 分钟内步行到避难所,1 小时中途停下来拍照。
之后,我们的导游在解说中心前放下我们,我们沿着 Páramo 小径走了 10 分钟。然后我们参观了解说中心,那里很适合孩子们,但是电子设备都坏了,真遗憾。
总的来说,这是美好的一天,因为云散了,我们看到了火山,它绝对雄伟而美丽。
