Cotopaxi National Park

V!VA User‘s Description
An hour and a half south of Quito, along the Avenue of the Volcanoes, lays the dominant image on the Ecuadorian national psyche: the perfectly conical Cotopaxi volcano (altitude 5,897 m, 19,350 ft), claiming to be the world's highest active volcano. Even novice climbers can summit the glacier-topped peak with the help of a good guide, glacier climbing equipment and a hardy jacket. The views from the top on a clear day are incredible. Even so, it's a physically demanding climb, (if not technically demanding, depending on snowfall and current glacier conditions) so proper acclimatization, good fitness and training is essential. A week in Quito or any other Andean town with ample walking and summiting of a lesser peak or two should be sufficient.
