Chimborazo Volcano Trip + Balbanera Church

We will pick you up at Avenida Isidro Ayora Cueva at 3 am and start a four and a half hour minibus ride to the Chimborazo Volcano.

Standing at a height of 20,000 feet, the Chimborazo is the highest peak in Ecuador. The area is known for its snowy summit and diverse wildlife, making it a prominent natural attraction.

Once we reach the first refuge, we will begin our ascent to the Chimborazo crater, where you will have the opportunity to see llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas. The landscape changes as we climb, becoming more arid and snowy. We will reach the second refuge, allowing time for photography and appreciation of the scenery.

After descending, we will visit the Colta lagoon, which offers a picturesque Andean landscape and discuss indigenous gatherings that occur there. Finally, we will explore the church of Balbanera, the oldest Catholic temple in Ecuador.

After lunch, we will return to Guayaquil with arrival at the hotels scheduled for 3 pm.
