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 stunning Chimborazo Volcano!

Standing at a staggering 20,000 feet, the Chimborazo is the highest peak in Ecuador and one of its most visited natural attractions. The snowy summit and wildlife in the area enhance its appeal.

Upon reaching the first refuge, we will begin our ascent to the Chimborazo crater. During the hike, you will encounter llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas. The landscape will shift as we gain altitude, and you will have time at the second refuge to photograph the scenery.

After descending, we will visit the nearby Colta lagoon and discuss the indigenous gatherings that occur there, followed by a visit to the church of Balbanera, the oldest Catholic temple in Ecuador.

After lunch, we will return to Guayaquil, with an expected arrival at hotels by 3 pm.
