Climbing Chimborazo Volcano (6263 m / 20548 ft) - the world's highest mountain measured from the center of the earth - is a challenging plan, therefore we take it up with a good acclimatization schedule. Included in the itinerary are Cayambe and Antisana Volcanos, Ecuador's 3rd and 4th highest mountains and the only snow-covered spot on the equatorial line. Definitely a trip of a lifetime - join us!
Technically the climbs are not very difficult, nevertheless good fitness is required and some previous glacier travel experience highly recommended.
In this 14 day-package an extended acclimatization process is included, further you'll get to know some of the highlights of the Ecuadorian Andean region, among them the city of Quito, Imbabura, Papallacta Hot Springs, and the city of Riobamba or Cotopaxi National Park.
