About this trip
Climbing Iliniza Norte (5.126 m / 16,818 ft) is one of the easier mountains with more than 5.000 m height. The tour is technically not difficult, but some acclimatization and fitness are required. Iliniza Norte is a perfect acclimatization tour, preparing oneself for Cotopaxi or Chimborazo. Definitely a trip of a lifetime - join us!
Another very important point is proper acclimatization. To really enjoy the climb we recommend at least 2 days of preparation, including hikes in altitude and steadily increasing your sleeping altitude if possible.
