Highlights
Our main objective is to protect your safety at all times. This tour allows you to reach the closest point to the sun, in 2 days. The Chimborazo volcano is very popular among all mountaineers for its greatness and ease of access. Our goal will be to reach the 2 main summits of the volcano, the Veintimilla summit (6160m/20209ft) and the Whymper summit (6268m/20564ft). We work with the best certified mountain guides and our tour adapts to your needs so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. You will be able to observe landscapes from another world, being perfect for photography lovers. Any changes to the itinerary can be made with prior notice.
