We will start picking up all the participants from their location (in case that is farther from the city we will find a meeting point). Once all the group is complete we will start with this experience. After buying your tickets in Teleferico we'll go up to the High station and then hike to Rucu Pichincha summit. Depending on your physical condition we will do some stops in specific places to take a breath. In one hour and a half, we will arrive at the Bear`s Cave and will prepare for the last hour of the hike (drink water and eat something that gives us energy). in all this hike, I going to show you different kinds of plants and animals that give a magical view of this volcano.
Once we arrive at the rock basement of the mountain we will take another breath to start walking to the summit.
Here you would take some pictures and enjoy the solitude of the mountain and nature.
