North entrance of Cotopaxi | Informal Campsite

June 15th, 2024 by Ruteandoconhugo

Este es el acceso Norte del Cotopaxi. La ruta de machachi hasta acá es mala. Algo de asfalto y mucho de ripio y en subida. Se puede hacer pero si querés todo asfalto tenes que entrar por el acceso sur. Llegamos a las 5 y estaba cerrada la entrada (cierra a las 15hs) asiq el guardaparque nos dijo que paremos afuera del parque y nos habilito baño y wifi. Muy copado. La vista es hermosa y hace mucho frío.
Al día siguiente entramos al parque y fuimos hacia la laguna de limpiopungo a recorrerla y salimos x el acceso sur hacia Latacunga, todo asfalto.
Hermoso todo el recorrido.

Arrived at 3:30pm, the friendly ranger let us stay in our campervan on the flat parking behind the house. Great views. Registered for the national park entry the other morning, opens at 8am.

Stayed one night here. Arrived at 5h so the rangers let us park in the parking. Flat super quiet, they even told us to walk a little in the park before it's dark. Still free. You can register online or on site.

En vélo, on peut poser la tente autour de la cabane mais pas autour malheureusement, le garde nous a bien rappelé à l’ordre et nous a d’ailleurs pas autorisé à reprendre la route car il était 17:05 mmmmh
Bon spot à faire : la laguna santa domingo
Sinon spot de camping officiel à 1.8 kms de là par la voie normale.

Just before here it’s a great place to collect firewood for later use in the campground inside the park. Lots of it laying around next to the road here.
Good and quiet place to sleep as well

Arrived about 5pm and were not allowed to enter even on bicycles. We set the tent up here for the night, there are bathrooms and we got water out the stream

We arrived at 5:30pm and as opening hours of the park are 8-15 we were not allowed to go further. The ranger, Giovanni let us stay behind the gate and was very friendly. Spoke English as well. Night was quiet and toilets are available.
