The Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge is located on the slopes of the Sincholagua Volcano, in front of the Cotopaxi Volcano, the tallest active volcano in the world. The Rumiñahui and Pasochoa volcanoes stand in the distance.
The lodge is surrounded by grass and woodlands punctuated by streams and waterfalls, at an altitude of 11,811 feet above sea level.
Wildlife roams freely within this 240-acre private ranch: red-brocket and white-tailed deer, Andean fox, pumas, wild horses, and even rare Andean-spectacled bears. Overhead, Andean condors can be seen riding the thermals.
The property surrounding Cotopaxi Sanctuary Lodge has more than 6 miles of private trails for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking.
