With this hiking route through the Chimborazo volcano reserve, you'll walk through valleys with a lot of history and see the closest terrestrial point to the sun.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Riobamba and head to the La Chorrera canyon, where we'll start a 15-km trekking route through the Chimborazo volcano reserve.

During the hike, we'll explore some endemic plants and may encounter herds of vicuñas. The route includes a stop at the Carrel refuge and then, 1.5 km later, we will reach the Whymper refuge.

Next, we'll proceed to the Cóndor Cocha lagoon, at an altitude of 5,100 meters above sea level. We will then descend back to La Chorrera Canyon to visit the Chimborazo viewpoint, where we will provide a snack for refreshment.

We will return to Riobamba after approximately 7-8 hours.
