    Very nice experience, Oscar our driver was awesome. We were in a small group of three and it was really great. We made the ascent to the glacier, despite the capricious weather it was a great experience. We then ate at an Ecuadorian restaurant and as the day progressed Oscar told us a lot about the environment. I highly recommend. Also when buying the excursion everything is detailed, Oscar picked me up at the Hostel where I am staying in the morning at 8am without problem, thank you for this day. do not hesitate

    It was OK. Consisted of transfer to the volcano 1.2km uphill run at 4,800m, there a short break, then down again. Then to the lagoon, which was not really worth seeing. Maybe exciting for bird watchers. Lunch was typically Ecuadorian and good. But you can also do great in a large group for half or 1/3 of the money.
