 At 10:00 am we depart from Quito Basecamp Hotel (or from Latacunga/Riobamba, depending on your location) and drive toward Cotopaxi National Park. On the way, we stop for lunch at Rondador Café before continuing to the park entrance. After completing the registration process, we proceed to Tambo Paxi Lodge, located inside the national park, where your acclimatization begins.

This day is dedicated entirely to adjusting to the altitude. You may explore the surrounding trails, take short acclimatization walks, and enjoy the high Andean landscapes around the lodge.

Accommodation for the night is provided in shared dormitory rooms, and dinner is included.

Breakfast is served at Tambo Paxi, followed by a free morning to relax, explore the surroundings, or prepare your personal equipment. Check-out is at 12:00, and all luggage can be safely stored at Tambo Paxi while you are on the climb.

The guiding team meets at the lodge between 2:00 and 3:00 pm for lunch and a complete gear check. Once everything is ready, we drive into Cotopaxi National Park toward the José Rivas Refuge. The vehicle reaches the parking area at 4,780 meters, from where we hike approximately 40–50 minutes up to the refuge.

After settling in, the group takes time to relax, hydrate, and prepare for the ascent. Dinner is served at 5:00 pm, after which we rest as much as possible before beginning the night climb.

The ascent begins at midnight. Guides organize their rope teams, review safety procedures, and prepare for the climb. The approach to the summit of Cotopaxi (5,970 m) typically takes 6–7 hours, depending on weather and group pace.

After taking on the challenge and reaching the summit, we spend a short moment at the top for photos and to enjoy the sunrise over the Andes. We then begin a controlled and safe descent back to the José Rivas Refuge.

Breakfast is served upon arrival at the refuge, giving you time to recover and recharge before leaving Cotopaxi National Park. From here, we continue our journey by vehicle to Chimborazo Basecamp Lodge, where you can rest and further acclimatize for the upcoming Chimborazo climb.

After a well-deserved rest, you have the day to relax and restore energy for the next day, for acclimatization prior to the climb, there are several self-guided trails for climbers to enjoy

All meals included,

Breakfast is served at Chimborazo Basecamp Lodge, after which clients enjoy a free morning to rest, organize their gear, or explore the surroundings.

Once settled in, the team can relax, enjoy the views, take photos, or simply rest.
