We set off from Quito for Cotopaxi National Park early in the morning, stopping briefly at Hacienda El Porvenir to have a drink and pick up our bikes and gear. We continue on to the Park and cross the páramo plains towards the Northern Slopes of the Volcano in the vehicle, or we can start our ride at the hacienda. On the way, we pass by the ruins of an ancient Inca fortress named Pucará del Salitre, and keep on riding through secondary roads to reach the Canal. Superb views of the plains surrounding the cone of the volcano, where we can admire the impressive geological formations and volcanic history of Cotopaxi. The Canal road leads to Limpiopungo, a wetland of true importance for birdlife conservation in the Park. On the way we will enjoy a packed lunch. After this visit, we can drive to Hacienda El Porvenir where you can access APU Mountain SPA wet area with no extra cost (massages not included). Then we will return to Quito.
