The three haciendas where Tierra del Volcán operates all offer self-guided hikes, perfect for an independent adventure. With over 15 km. of signposted and/or self-guided paths covering a variety of routes within the properties, you can explore untouched, mesmerizing nooks and crannies of the Cotopaxi region. We offer different levels of difficulty and a mixture of dazzling landscapes. Ideal for acclimatization or just to get away from it all, our self-guided paths offer you a myriad of options: dense Andean woods, pristine páramos, rivers and waterfalls, viewpoints, conservation areas, birdwatching and wildlife.
