Ilinizas is an ancient volcano located south of Quito that splits into two different picks; this occurred about 5000 years ago. This tour climbs the northern pick, reaching an altitude of 5126m / 16.817 ft. Northern Ilinizas is a moderate trek followed by a exhilarating but easy climb to reach the top. If you are willing to climb Cotopaxi, this is a great tour for acclimatization
This trek / climb takes approximately 6 hours reaching the mentioned height of 5126m/ 16.817 ft. It is important that you are prepared for this kind of altitude so we highly recommend to be acclimatized around an altitude of at least 3000m / 9842 ft..

The weather on Ilinizas is unpredictable so you must be prepared with warm clothing.

Ecosportour with 10 years of experience operating tourism trips. We are direct operators of our own services, specialized in daily tours with fixed days of departure, which allows us to confirm from 1 passenger on shared basis. For tours of acclimatization, high mountain and trekking from 2 passengers, we include the 90% of technical team. We counted and elaborate trips around Ecuador covering the 4 regions, Andes, Amazon, Coast and Galapagos. Years in the market have allowed us to have our fleet of buses and 4 x 4. Also owning Cuyabeno Dolphin Lodge our hut in th Jungle. Located in the production of Cuyabeno wildlife Reserve. We offert tours of 3, 4 and 5 days. Our experienced guides will advise you.

We couldn’t ask for a better time in the Amazon than we did. My partner and I are both ecologists oftentimes encounter tourguides not being fully up to speed with the flora and fauna they cover. But our guides here were amazing! So much knowledge from growing up in the Amazon, it's astounding. Heck, I even had a nasty wound healed with plants that grew around the lodge. Furthermore, we were with a tiny group, and the other lodges were pretty quiet until the weekend started (we left, perfect timing). Truly had a great time chatting with the locals and waking up to pink river dolphins everyday while enjoying coffee.

I had a great time! The staff were extremely helpful and the food was very tasty, a treat when you've been traveling for several months. The guides, coming from local communities, had incredible knowledge about the fauna and flora. They were tireless and provided us with a variety of programs. I highly recommend Dolphin Lodge for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the Amazon in a place where you are welcomed like family. Congratulations to the whole team!

This 5 days tour is not worth for the money, my guide was late to pick me up, he put me in a average hotel where air conidtioner and wifi didnt work well and no breakfast. During the tour I requested for vegetarian food which they kept forgeting. to take the tour you will need to take a boat taxi which as a customer you need to pay, plus on my last tour they drop me at agency and started demanding money to take me back to hotel which was included in my tour price. You can do this in less money by coming to island and going to direct tour.
