Itinerary
- Day 1: Meeting and arrival at Refugio Carrel
Early pick up from one of our pick up points. We will go by car to the parking area of the Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo, relatively close to Refugio Carrel at circa 4800 meters. We will spend the afternoon visiting the settings which surround us and, most importantly, resting. Finally, we will have an early dinner and then go to bed.
- Day 2: Reaching the summit and descent
Depending on how many people are taking part of the trip and on the climate conditions, our ascent to Chimborazo will commence around midnight. We will mountaineer upwards for 8-9 hours until reaching on of these summits: Veintimilla at 6230m or Whymper at 6263m. Then, we will start descending for 3-4 hours and have lunch in a restaurant. After that, we will arrive at the starting point in the afternoon.
