Waterfall Trekking & Horseback Riding – Cotopaxi, Ecuador
My friends and I spent the weekend in the Cotopaxi Province of Ecuador. It is home to the Cotopaxi volcano, which is the second highest summit in the country. We stayed at the gorgeous Secret Garden hostel, which had a guide take us trekking in the forest and along the streams to waterfalls. We also went horseback riding for six hours up to the top of a mountain for a closer look at the volcano. Follow along with my Ecuador adventures at www.thetravelingbard.wordpress.com

Itinerary: Day 1: leave Huaraz on private transportation to the village of Collon, where we meet the donkeys and arrieros that will help carry the climbing gear. Here is the starting point of the trek to base camp (4200m), which takes about 4 – 5 hours depending on the trekking pace. Day 2: Trek to camp 1 of Tocllaraju (approx. 6 hours). The last 2 hours of the climb are on the glacier and may require roping up. Day 3: early start (2am) to the summit of Tocllaraju ( 6.034m), and return to camp 1. The round trip to the summit and back takes about 9-10 hours. Day 4: return to base camp at 4200m. Day 5: descend from base camp to the village of Collon, where private transportation will transfer us back to Huaraz.
Just beautiful and the music superb. Thanks for sharing.
There it is the old Cotopaxi waiting patiently to give a hard time to any one who dears to climb it. I haven’t given up on the idea of getting to the top. Keep waiting old friend may be next year I will give it a try.
Well done video, thanks for sharing….
@fabg05 I did record it. We were very lucky when it was clear! It was cloudy the first day but BAM! next day, so groovy!
Nice video. Did you record it? Very lucky, you caught it very clear. I was there one week ago.
@Dragoon77 Thank you very much!
Excellent video!
@AllisonCarlton Muchísimas gracias por los nombres de las canciones y disfruten su tiempo en Ecuador!
@doriansu Thank you incredibly for the kind words. I think choosing music is the hardest part in making all my videos. The two tracks for this came from the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack. The songs were: Forbidden Friendship and Test Drive. Thanks again for watching!
An amazing video! Landscapes are beautiful, but also rivaled in beauty by the music you chose. Are those two songs from some movie soundtrack? You really used them well to produce a great viewing experience
