Great 2 days trip with tour guide Kevin
Couple joined two days private tour with driver and tour guide Kevin. He did a good job to explain Ecuador country on the way to make 2 days full of fun. We had a hining to Cotopaxi Volcano and self paid horse back riding. It was a fun

Beautiful hiking
We had 2 different guides on the 2 days of this trip. Christian on day one was so enthusiastic and knowledgable about the local landscape and wildlife. We had beautiful weather and made it to the Cotopaxi refuge. Robin on day 2 also shared great tales of the locality and Quilotoa lake was beautiful. The accommodation wasn’t great as it was damp and not particularly clean and this made for an odd night in between 2 wonderful days of hiking and exploring.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed both days of the trip and that Christian and Robin made the experience special with their enthusiasm, knowledge, and stories about the local landscape and wildlife. Reaching the Cotopaxi refuge in good weather and visiting the beautiful Quilotoa Lake are truly memorable highlights. We sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding the accommodation. We’re sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations, and we take this seriously. Your comments help us review and improve our partners to ensure a better experience for future travelers. Thank you for choosing Barak Travel, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for another adventure.

Adventure Time
This was a great experience. The hikes were beautiful and breathtaking (literally and figuratively). The accommodations were great during overnight. Our guides, Daniel and Patricio, were fantastic. They spoke great English and were a wealth of knowledge when it comes to their country. They knew every plant and animal while on the trail, and detailed history of the cities and cultures that were around us. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: We thank you for your recommendation, it is amazing to hear about your experience with our team. Our priority is that they can discover the beauty of the true Ecuador. Knowing that each of the places and sites we visited was the right ones motivates us to continue improving and increasing the quality of our services. On behalf of Daniel, Patricio, and all of us who make up El Barak Ecuador Travel, we send you greetings and a big hug.

2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included cost?
+
Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Breakfast; Lodging 1 night; and Professional Tour Guide. Not included: Personal expenses; Dinners; and Kayak and Cavalcade in Quilotoa. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 day 1 night tour to Cotopaxi Volcano and Quilotoa Lagoon all included offered in?
