As of November 2021, camping is no longer allowed outside of the refugio. We were told by our guide (Edgar of Lonely Summits) that since COVID, the park has become more strict around camping and climbers are only allowed to stay in the refugio. We saw no campers while staying there. Bummer since we brought all of our camping gear!

Normal Route in UseClimbed Cotopaxi this morning via the normal route. Our guide told us it's the only one in use and has been for a fair while!
