Highlights
Climb Chimborazo, Ecuador’s highest mountain and one of the most iconic volcanoes in the Andes, on a private 2-day expedition designed with safety, acclimatization, and personalized guidance in mind. Led by certified mountain guides, it includes private transportation, technical mountaineering equipment, meals, accommodation at Chimborazo High Camp, and national park permits.
Unlike a standard hiking tour, this is a real high-altitude mountaineering expedition. The climb is physically demanding and depends on weather, mountain conditions, and each traveler’s acclimatization. Our priority is to provide a safe, professional, and organized experience while giving you the opportunity to attempt one of Ecuador’s most unforgettable summits.
This is a high-altitude mountaineering expedition. Summit success is not guaranteed and depends on weather, mountain conditions, each traveler’s acclimatization, physical condition, and safety decisions made by the guide. Safety is always the priority.
