Description
It’s a honor for me to propose you this guided climbing trip in the best Ecuadorian Volcanoes.
As a local guide with a big mountaineering background, I have no doubt this trip is a great option for you. It’s a perfect combination of stunning summits and all the technical challenges climbers love.

First of all, we’ll climb some small summits in order to acclimatize our bodies. Then, we continue the acclimatization process until we are finally ready to the main goal: Chimborazo Volcano.
Besides that challenging climb, you will also reach the following summits:
- Corazón Volcano
- North Iliniza
- South Illiniza
- Antisana
- Cayambe
- Carihuairazo
Moreover, we’ll spend some resting days in the city of Baños and the nice Papallacta Hot Springs.
