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.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful experience, the staff is helpful, kind and friendly. The place is amazing, it has a wonderful view. Although, if you don't like insects or hot weather, it should be better for you to stay less or re think about your visit. Due to the weather and the place which is surrounded by nature, we had some insects in our room but we could stand it. Also, our guide Elías was great!! He explained everything about the place from its animals to its fruits, plants, trees, land, river, everything!! Great experience, you should definitely go for it!!
