Cotopaxi ~ The highest active volcano in the world.. according to some. Because some scientists don't consider Ojos Del Sado (Argentina) to be active.
Regardless of the stats.. I needed to hike this volcano because I've been wearing Cotopaxi backpacks for years. I really lucked out on getting perfect weather for this hike, and it was magical amidst all of the suffering endured just to reach the top.
As someone who needs prior acclimatization to reach higher peaks, and having been only partially acclimatized to Quito (2800m) before attempting to summit.. I put Cotopaxi in my personal top 3 in terms of difficulty. It was not easy, but it was for sure rewarding.
