Are you looking for an extraordinary splitboarding adventure? Then this 15-day program to Chimborazo, Cotopaxi and Cayambe, the three jewels of Ecuador, is the perfect choice for you!
Chimborazo (6,263 meters), Cotopaxi (5,897 meters), and Cayambe (5,790 meters) are the three highest summits in Ecuador. They are all stratovolcanoes that belong to the Andes mountain range. On our tour we will explore these three stunning peaks.
First, we will visit some of the Quito highlights. Quito is the capital of the country and is a fascinating spot that combines indigenous and hispanic cultures. Then, after exploring the city, we’ll start with acclimatization climbs to Fuya Fuya (4,263 meters) and Imbabura (4,630 meters). After that, we’ll begin the approach to the three summits. Additionally, during the program, we’ll also have a few extra days that we can use either to rest or to explore another summit. We will decide what to do according to your wishes. At the bottom of the page, you will find a more detailed description of the itinerary. So take a look at it and get ready for a great adventure!
Regarding accommodation, we’ll stay in different hotels and mountain huts on the way. Breakfast will be included. Additionally, we will explore small towns and lovely spots in the region. Therefore, we will also get to experience the colorful local indigenous culture in between climbs.
Because this is a challenging adventure in the Andes, this program is for advanced splitboarders. Also, you will need a very good level of fitness. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way!

We wish we could have Simon as our guide on every trek we do. His mountaineering experience and extensive knowledge of the area was impressive and definitely enhanced the trek for us. On top of this, we got along great with Simon and appreciate his easy going personality and sense of humor. We will definitely request Simon as our guide for the next hike we do from El Chalten!

This was a fantastic mountaineering trip to Ecuador. The altitude was a bit of a challenge, but Ramiro did a great job with the acclimatization schedule leading up to the taller mountains. Overall, this was a challenging experience given the altitude of the climbs as well as the back-to-back climbing of four mountains. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who wants to experience a fantastic country/culture as well as someone who wants to gain some nice experience mountaineering!

Fredy Tipan is like a superhero of the outdoor world. He knows absolutely everyone, has climbed and guided in the most epic of locations all around the world, knows the mountains like old friends, and really loves what he does and who he does it for. Our trip was completely messed up after an issue with our airline tickets. We weren't going to be able to leave until a week after our planned departure which jeopardized our entire trek with Fredy. We didn't expect him to take any sort of responsibility in replanning as it was our mistake that caused the airline issue but he absolutely did. Within days he rearranged the entire trek so that we would be able to summit all our desired peaks without cutting the days down and without changing the cost. He is a class act and an incredible guide and I'd say my husband and I both consider him a friend as well. We will definitely be booking another trip with Fredy Tipan and recommend him to anyone looking for the real deal in outdoor Guides. Thank you, Fredy!

Amazing short but exciting climb to a summit with outstanding views. Perfect acclimatization peak for the bigger Ecuadorian volcanoes, with a cozy hut and a nice approach walk. Fredy was fantastic, thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!
