<h2>A little bit about Aconcagua</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.explore-share.com/?instant=1&amp;s=aconcagua#q=aconcagua&amp;p">Aconcagua</a>, referred by some as &#8220;the Stone Sentinel&#8221;, is the <b>highest mountain in the Americas</b>, with an altitude of 22,841 feet. Performing the ascent takes from 15 to 20 days, and it is most advisable to do it from November to March. The closest city to the mount is <b>Mendoza, in Argentina.</b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Ecuador is a world-renowned destination among climbing and mountaineering fans due to its volcanoes. Above all, the majestic <strong><a href="https://www.explore-share.com/mountain-climbing-trips/ecuador/chimborazo/">Chimborazo</a> stands out because of its altitude</strong> and the technical complexity of its ascent. Arrange your trip to this volcano in the best possible way with these tips for a successful climb.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">A few facts about Chimborazo</h2>
&nbsp;
<p style="text-align: justify;">Located at the Western Andes Range, <b>Chimborazo is the highest <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/mountain-climbing-trips/ecuador/">volcano in Ecuador</a></b>, with a maximum height of 20,561 feet and a prominence of 13,526 feet from its base.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite not being the highest mountain in the world, <b>its summit is the furthest point from the center of the Earth</b>; the elliptical shape of our planet and Chimborazo’s proximity to the Equator are the reason its summit is 1.25 miles further than Everest’s.</p>

<div class="row clearfix" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="sixteen columns alpha omega">
<h2><strong>What is the best time to climb Chimborazo?</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

Chimborazo can be climbed all-year round, although the best period runs from <strong>November to February </strong>and from <strong>May to July</strong>.

It's not advisable to climb between March and April because there's a huge amount of rain and snow. August can be very windy, but you can get good weather conditions during September and October.

The best option is to start the ascent before midnight, in order to be back no later than 10 a.m., as sunlight adds the risk of rock fall and the cloudy afternoon weather reduces the visibility of the trail.
<h2><strong>Why is it difficult to ascend Chimborazo?</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

The well-known health risks of high-altitude ascents are, for starters, a setback. In order to avoid them, <strong>try to acclimatize in the lower peaks of Ecuador first before heading to Chimborazo.</strong> Climbing the volcano with the help of a mountain guide, who is prepared to cope with such situations, is the best option.

</div>
</div>
<div class="row clearfix" style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="eight columns alpha">

To avoid the risk of getting altitude sickness, it is crucial to have a good acclimatization.

Some guides propose longer programs, in which you climb several peaks before going to Chimborazo, gaining altitude progressively. Check out this <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/cayambe-chimborazo-acclimatization/">10-day program climbing Cayambe &amp; Chimborazo</a>, or this <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/cayambe-chimborazo-guided-11-day-expedition/">11-day expedition that takes you to 5 Ecuadorian summits.</a>

If you have a solid mountaineering experience, another option is to do some acclimatization on your own and then hire the guide for a straightforward <a href="https://www.explore-share.com/trip/chimborazo/">2-day ascent to Chimborazo</a>.
<h2>Why hire a mountain guide?</h2>
&nbsp;

The path to Chimborazo’s summit has plenty of glaciers, some of them with dangerous crevasses. Besides, the <strong>tough weather</strong> in Ecuador and the avalanches make the ascent even more difficult.

You should always make sure to hire a <strong>professional and certified mountain guid</strong>e. The best options are going with an <strong>IFMGA/UIAGM</strong> guide (international certification) or with an <strong>ASEGUIM</strong> guide (Ecuador's national certification, recognized by the IFMGA).

As a consequence of its technical difficulty, historically, there have been fatal accidents in the volcano, most of them due to avoidable mistakes. Because of that, <strong>since November 2012 the Ecuadorian government has disallowed climbing Chimborazo without a certified mountain guide.</strong>

</div>
<div class="eight columns omega square pic_container">
<h2><strong>Starting point and how to get there</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

<strong>The ideal starting point for a trip to Chimborazo is Riobamba, </strong>an Andean city located on the Avenue of Volcanoes, 120 miles (200 km) away from the Ecuadorian capital, Quito.

You can take a bus there from the Quitumbe bus station, a bit south of Quito. Once there, you can easily get to the Chimborazo Reserve. <strong>T</strong><b>ake one of the buses heading to Guaranda, and ask the driver to leave you at the Reserve’s entrance</b>. There’s also the option to take a cab from Riobamba for 35 bucks.

Anyway, you can make the proper arrangements for the pick-up with the guides. Many of them will include transportation to Chimborazo in their programs.
<h2><strong>Where to stay before and during the ascent?</strong></h2>
&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.explore-share.com/mountain-guide/edgar-parra-2/">Local guide Edgar Parra</a> recommended several accommodation options for the night before your Chimborazo ascent:

</ul>

&nbsp;

<b>The most popular mountain hut to stay during your ascent to Chimborazo is Whymper.</b> Located at 16,400 feet (5,000 m) it is well-equipped with comfortable bunk-beds, bathrooms, basic food supplies and a fireplace.

<strong>Refuge Carrell,</strong> at 15,750 feet (4,800 m), is also well prepared to host climbers. Because of its location, to start the ascent from there you will need to leave a bit earlier.

There are two campsites closer to Chimborazo: <strong>El Castillo</strong> and <strong>Moraine.</strong> The former can get pummeled by snow fall in the case of strong wind or avalanche.

<h2>1. Cotopaxi</h2>
With its perfect snow-capped cone, Cotopaxi is the most famous volcano for mountaineering in Ecuador. With 5897 m, it is the second highest mountain in the country. It is located in <strong>Cotopaxi National Park</strong>, 55 km south from <strong>Quito</strong>, and you can go either from there or from the city of <strong>Latacunga</strong>. Climbs can be attempted year round and there is a refuge at 4800 m.

<h2>2. Cayambe</h2>
Cayambe is another beautiful option, with much less people than in Cotopaxi.

It is the third highest mountain in Ecuador (5790 m), and located 65 km northeast from <strong>Quito</strong>. The “<strong>Glaciar Hermoso</strong>”, easily accessible from the refuge at 4600 m, is a great place to learn and practice climbing techniques in snow and ice.

It can also be climbed year round, but the best time of the year to do it is from October to January.

<h2>3. Chimborazo</h2>
Chimborazo is the <strong>highest point in Ecuador</strong>. Once considered the highest mountain in the world, with 6268 m it is the farthest point from the center of the Earth.

The normal route to reach its summit is in the southwest face. To avoid clouds and rock fall hazard, the ascent in the summit day must begin around midnight.

Chimborazo is climbable year round however, the best climbing months are June and July and December through early January. February through May is known for bad weather, especially in the month of April.

<h2>4. Antisana</h2>
Placed in a majestic setting, Antisana is one of the least climbed volcano due to its reputation as a difficult mountain. But this is compensated with spectacular views of Cotopaxi and Cayambe, and the usual presence of <strong>Andean condors.</strong> Located in the eastern range of the Andes, next to the Amazon-basin, it can get quite cloudy, so the best season to go there are the dry months between December and February.

<h2>5. El Altar</h2>
Off the beaten track, El Altar is a <strong>demanding climb</strong> that can be an exciting challenge for experienced mountaineers.

2 days Mountaineering in the Andes near Mendoza with a 4,000m summit

Gastón Oyarzún

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Join me on this mountaineering expedition to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Aconcagua is part of the Andes mountain range and is located in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. It is <strong>one of the Seven Summits</strong> (the highest mountains in each of the seven continents) and a unique mountaineering feat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Climbing Aconcagua is a memory that you will forever treasure.  I've been +36 times to Aconcagua, and each time is as fascinating as the first one. On this program, we will tackle Aconcagua straight on. <strong>It will take us between 12 to 14 days to get to the summit and back</strong>, so you will need adequate training. However, keep in mind that although <strong>dealing with altitude and having a good fitness level is key</strong>, Aconcagua is a non-technical climb. You can find a detailed itinerary below and keep in mind that it can change depending on group and weather conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With good weather, you'll be able to <strong>enjoy an incredible 360° view</strong> from the summit that you'll never forget: infinite mountains, glaciers, and snow-capped peaks, including views of the stunning Cerro Mercedario and Cerro Tolosa. You can<strong> read the experience of a climber I guided in 2016 in this <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/blog/climbing-aconcagua-powerful-emotion-life/">blog article</a>. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, are you ready to climb to the highest mountain in the Americas?  Then <strong>contact me now and let's start planning an amazing adventure</strong>. I look forward to being your guide!</p>

Expedition to Mount Aconcagua, 6962 m

Pablo Pontoriero

<p style="text-align: justify;">Advanced excursions in the area of the Otto Meiling Refuge, Mount Tronador. Starting for the refuge, we'll summit the Argentine peak of <strong>one of the most iconic mountains in North Patagonia!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The excursion takes 8 to 12 hours. This will depend on the pace and the glacier conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the duration and character of the endeavour a good physical condition is mandatory. Besides, technical experience helps but is not a must.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The ascent starts around 4AM. Then, we cover 4.4 miles and 4430 feet across spectacular snowy glaciers and steep ridges. We reach the summit around noon. After a peek from the top the descent starts using the same route to get back to the refuge. Hopefully, we arrive not later than 3PM.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For operational and safety reasons there is a limit of two clients per guide. Another guide can join us in case of a larger group.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>There are two options for this trip:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>first one</strong>, as described here, is a 1 day program, in which we go to the summit of the Argentinean Peak of Mt. Tronador from the Otto Meiling Refuge. If you choose this option you must do on your own the hike up from Pampa Linda to the refuge, where we'll meet. You must sleep there the night before because on summit day we start early in the morning. The path that goes up from Pampa Linda to the Meiling refuge is well marked, and you shouldn't have trouble doing it on your own if you have some previous experience in mountain trekking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>second option</strong> is to do the whole program with me during the 3 days, including during day 1 the transfer from Bariloche to Pampa Linda and the ascent to the refuge, on day 2 the summit attempt, and on day 3 the descent from the refuge to Pampa Linda, and the transfer back from there to Bariloche.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>In any case, let me know if you are interested in reaching the top of one of the most iconic mountains of Bariloche region!</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I also offer a third option to ascend Tronador in a different trip, <strong><a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/ascent-to-tronador-international-peak/">check it out</a></strong>!</p>
