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.

Nice video. Did you record it? Very lucky, you caught it very clear. I was there one week ago.

@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!

@Dragoon77 Thank you very much!

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 :-)

[AllisonCarlton]

@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!

Hi do you know what tour program you used?

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.
