Tungurahua Volcano 2-Day Hiking Excursion

Day 1

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Baños de Agua Santa at 8:30 am. A brief introduction about safety and equipment for the ascent will precede our departure towards the Tungurahua volcano.

Upon arrival, we'll start a 3-hour hike to the Garganta de Fuego refuge, located at an altitude of 12,634 feet (3,851 meters). At the lodge, we'll have some soup, a meat dish, and juice. In the afternoon, we'll explore the surroundings and prepare for the next climb.

Later, a dinner consisting of a meat or chicken dish and juice will be served, followed by rest for the next day.

Day 2

At approximately 1 am, we'll wake up and have coffee, bread, and fruit to prepare for the final ascent. Over the next six hours, we'll hike to the summit of Mama Tungurahua, a permanently active stratovolcano, where you can enjoy views of the sunrise over the Andes.

Following the ascent, we'll descend to the refuge, then proceed to the parking lot. A minibus will take us back to Baños de Agua Santa, with an expected arrival at 2 pm.
