Amazing 🤩
Incredible tour!! We saw so much and learned a lot too. Our guide, David, was so helpful and took lots of pictures for us. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ecuador in a short amount of time!

Best way to see both volcanos
This tour is a great way to see both volcanos in a small group, sleep close to one and get some interesting insights about the local culture and life. Anthony and Alex were great. We learned a lot, had the options to do some activities (mountain biking, kayak) and meet some indigenous people to learn about their life. Highly recommend

Experience Quilotoa & Cotopaxi from Quito
An accessible way to experience Quilotoa and Cotopaxi from Quito. David was an amazing guide and taught us so much about the area, and Kichwa traditions. The views are stunning, and each day is accompanied with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend!

Great Combo Tour
Both days were enjoyable and fun! The overnight hotel accommodation was very nice and quiet. The schedule for both days seemed to run on time (pick ups, drops offs, etc). The first day in Cotopaxi the weather was terrible, but we made the best of it. Our guide Joselo was informative and patient with all in the group. The second day was even better. The laguna is absolutely beautiful and must see! Once again our guide David communicated very well, kept us informed of the day's activities, and was available to answer any questions. I did this to save some time as opposed to doing to separate day trips back and forth to Quito. Both climbs will likely be a bit challenging for beginners, but the downhill mountain biking is not bad at all.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience and that everything was well organized throughout the tour. Our goal is always to create memorable adventures while providing excellent service every step of the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Ecuador soon!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cotopaxi + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Cotopaxi + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night 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 Cotopaxi + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 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 + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night?
+
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 + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cotopaxi + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night?
+
Around 14 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 Cotopaxi + Quilotoa: Andes Tour 2 days 1 night 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 tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. 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.
