Description

Come and join me for an incredible 10-Day Trek through the Avenue of Volcanoes in Ecuador, culminating with the ascent of the two biggest Volcanoes in the country, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo.

There are so many amazing volcanoes in Ecuador, it would be difficult to pick one, or two, or three, or even four to climb. So during this 10-day Excursion, we will climb to the top of five volcanoes. Hence, why this trip will be exhausting and exhilarating at the same time.

This trip is not only about climbing incredible peaks. Because there is so much to see in the Avenue of Volcanoes, when not climbing, you will be exploring other amazing areas. You will get to see the Old Town Section of Quito, which we will gladly tour you around. You will get to see the famous Ciudad Mitad Del Mundo which marks the exact location of the Equator. There is also the beautiful Valley Town of Baños, where we will take a rest day, and you can enjoy the amazing Hot Springs.

However, the real highlights of this trip are the volcanoes themselves. Each summit will be its own adventure. But Cotopaxi and Chimborazo will be the biggest adventures of all because they are the biggest Volcanoes. Covered in snow, yet boiling with fire beneath the surface, so much could be said about these majestic volcanoes. There is so much symbolism, so much meaning, both hidden and obvious one can derive from them. Simply put, they must be beheld in person to understand their magic. And on this trip, that's exactly what you will do.

So join me on this breathtaking, unforgettable 10-day Journey through one of the world's most Ancient of Avenues. Come and see some of the peaks that people have been admiring for thousands of years. While saving the best two for last, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo.

I'll be awaiting your messages.

And if you want to join me on a trip to the summit of another great volcano in Ecuador, Cayambe, you can join me here.

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!
