Description
The ascent to Nevado Cayambe
This mountain is a well kept secret, because its ascent route is as nice as Cotopaxi but we’ll find way less mountaineers in our way up. Just as the other nevados in Ecuador, the path to the summit of Nevado Cayambe is abundant with beautiful cleavages, nevertheless the ascent is not very technically demanding.
About Cayambe
Nevado Cayambe (5790 m) is the third highest peak in Ecuador and its summit is the highest in the Andes north of the Equator.
It is located in the Pichincha province, approximately 70 km northeast of Quito. It is one of the volcanoes in the Cordillera Real, the same mountain range of Cotopaxi.
I propose to you the following itinerary:
Day 1. From Quito to Cayambe Refuge (4600 m).
Day 2. From the refuge to Cayambe Summit (5790 m), then back to Quito.
Please contact me if climbing this Nevado sounds interesting!

Had an amazing time with my guide Ramiro. He selected the perfect mix of mountains in order to properly acclimatize so I could achieve the summit of Cayambe. With his vast experience of more than three decades he was able to teach me a lot of skills and know-how along the way so I’d always feel safe on the mountains. I can only recommend a trip with Ramiro. You’re definitely in good hands and going to make wonderful experiences.
