Chimborazo Volcano 2-Day Hiking Tour

Day 1

Between 7 and 8 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Baños de Agua Santa. The mountain guide will provide an overview of the hiking equipment, including the outer layer, boots, ropes, harness, crampons, and ice axes. We will then head to Riobamba to begin the first leg of our route up the Chimborazo volcano.

We will first climb to a refuge at an elevation of 4,800 meters, followed by a second refuge at 5,000 meters, where we will have soup, a meat dish, and juice for nourishment. In the afternoon, we will learn basic techniques for the next day's ascent. Dinner will consist of a meat or chicken dish with juice, after which we will rest until midnight.

Day 2

At midnight, we'll wake up to continue our ascent. A snack of bread, fruit, and tea or coffee will be provided before we begin a six-hour hike to the summit at 6,263 meters. Upon reaching the top, we'll explore part of the glacier and enjoy views of the Central Andes. The Inca civilization performed rituals on this mountain. After taking in the scenery, we will return to the refuge.

We will then descend to the base and take the bus back to Baños de Agua Santa, with an arrival at your hotel scheduled for 2 pm.

Accommodation
