A taste of Ecuador
You could probably spend a month in Ecuador and still not see everything. With us having only 12 nights and visiting the Galapagos and the Amazon, I booked a few day trips- this one to experience Cotopaxi and Banos. A very knowledgeable Pedro picked us up and took us to the mountain. Not only could he explain details of the flora & fauna, he also gave us the folklore around the man (mountain) and his girlfriends (other volcanoes). Banos was a quaint little town and we went to a cable car over a river. At lunch I was surprised with a birthday cake (thank you again). And the highlight of the tour - the Devil’s cauldron, a simply spectacular waterfall. If you have the time, visit these on separate days. But it you want a little taster, I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Hi Anneleze Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour to Cotopaxi and Baños, and that Pedro was able to enrich your day with his knowledge of nature and the fascinating legends of the volcanoes. What a special way to celebrate your birthday , we’re so happy to have been part of that memorable moment! The Devil’s Cauldron is truly a natural wonder, and we're glad it stood out as a highlight. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for choosing us to be part of your Ecuador adventure. We’d love to welcome you back anytime to explore even more of this incredible country!

Highly recommend this tour and our guide Veronica and our driver Carolina.
We enjoyed what we saw and did in this trip. Our guide and driver were very nice and helpful to us. Our guide Veronica speaks fluent English. She provided us with lots of interesting information about the trip and Quito and Ecuador. On the way to each stop, she took us to different places to try different local and tasty food and snacks. She gave us ample time to enjoy the views and took lots of photos and videos for us as well. Our driver Carolina is really good driver. She gave us a very smooth ride through the day. Carolina took nice photos too. Veronica and Carolina have made this enjoyable trip possible.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that Veronica and Carolina made your trip memorable with their helpfulness and expertise. It's great to know that you enjoyed the local cuisine, stunning views, and smooth ride. Your kind words about their efforts in taking photos and ensuring a great experience are much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back on another adventure!

Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito 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 Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito?
+
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 Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito 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 Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 182 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cotopaxi and Baños Full Day Adventure from Quito offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
