      About this trip

      In the Northern part of Ecuador, approximately two and a half hours from Quito are the "Lagunas de Mojanda", a very mystical place. From there we start the hike to the peaks of Fuya Fuya, a very beautiful acclimatization hike. The name Fuya Fuya comes from kichwa language and means clouds, which describes the foggy atmosphere of the area. During the ascent to the first summit, we have the heart shaped "Laguna Grande" in our back. If you feel good we go for both summits, the second summit includes a bit of rock scrambling to get to the highest point.

      The hike to the Fuya Fuya summit takes between 2 and 3 hours and onother hour to get back, it's a perfect way to get your acclimatization started for higher peaks in Ecuador.

      The accommodations were really nice, I am very glad we opted for the high camp because it made the next day much easier. The views were incredible and the climb was adequately tough. I wish I had talked with my guide more about our previous experience mountain climbing because he seemed to assume that we had lots of experience when we did not. Other than that well worth the hard hike.

      Beautiful time in Ecuador climbing Cayambe & Chimborazo! The acclimatization part of the trip climbing other mountains such as Pasochoa and Rumiñahui worked great and made the whole program very interesting. Jamie is a very skilled mountain guide and pleasant person to hang out with. Communication in English was always easy with both Jamie and Elisabeth. I highly recommend Andean Summit Adventure.

      Our experience with the transfer from Quito to Chakana was flawless. The driver was friendly and our pickup was on time. They handled a police checkpoint where the police seemed to be looking for a bribe. The bus was modern and comfortable. The driver also made a bathroom stop and allowed for grabbing snacks and drinks. They provided local knowledge and made the 4 hour drive go by quickly. I would highly recommend!

      We had a great experience with Andean Summit Adventure. Organization and logistics were very good, all questions and requests answered and addressed immediately. We had a great time with our guide Diego who was super friendly and at the same time very experienced and professional. We felt better than at home. We’ve climbed Cayambe however not Chimborazo but this was related to dangerous snow conditions and had nothing to do with guiding. If you consider Andean Summit Adventure services I can only recommend it. And by the way - Ecuador and it’s volcanoes are fantastic place to visit and climb.

      Booking With Andean Summit Adventure was smooth and easy. Responding quickly to any questions and concerns. The itinerary was customized for our dates. The guide Robinson a Quito local was experienced, professional, and certified. He was very knowledgeable all things Ecuador and mountaineering. We enjoyed our trip and couldn't be happier.
