11-day Cordillera Real splitboarding trip

Description

Located in the Cordillera Real of the Andes, Antisana and Cayambe are two stratovolcanoes with an altitude of around 5,700 meters. Cayambe is the third tallest peak in Ecuador and it is a very popular mountain among mountaineers around the globe. On this 11-day tour, we’ll visit these two stunning Ecuadorian landmarks and more!

For acclimatisation purposes, before reaching these peaks, we’ll enjoy splitboarding in different  peaks, such as Fuya Fuya (4,263 meters) and Imbabura (4,630 meters). Also, we’ll visit the Plaza de Ponchos and get to relax in a hot-spring. The accommodation of this trip will be organized in hotels, huts and tents. For a more detailed description of the itinerary, you can take a look below.

Finally, take into account that you will need prior splitboarding or skiing experience for this program. Also, you should have a very good level of fitness.

If you want to spend 11 days splitboarding through some of the best peaks in Ecuador, all you have to do is get in touch with me and I’ll take care of the rest. Send the request to book your place now!
