About this trip
Hiking the the extinct volcano Ilaló (3.188 m / 10,460 ft) is a perfect tour out of Quito for getting your acclimatization process started or just for a very enjoyable hike. The views during the climb and also from the summit are breathtaking: Quito, the Valleys, the avenue of the volcanoes and much more. During the hike we reach 2 summits: on the frist one we find "La cruz del Tingo" - a huge cross and the second one is known as the "ito". Definitely a trip of a lifetime - join us!
Technically the hike is not very difficult, nevertheless good fitness is required and some previous experience highly recommended.
Another very important point is proper acclimatization. To really enjoy the climb, we recommend at least having stayed a day in the city before climbing it.
