Chimborazo Volcano Bike Tour

At 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Riobamba and take you to the Hermanos Carrel mountain lodge, located at an altitude of 5,900 feet (1,800 metres). There, you will receive a bag with a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and some juice for the halfway point.

We'll take a short walk to a second refuge to see the Condorcocha Lagoon, at 16,732 feet (5,100 metres). Afterward, we'll return to the Hermanos Carrel camp to begin a cycling tour of the Chimborazo Volcano.

This 23-mile (38-kilometre) route starts in a dry paramo area, where you can observe herds of vicuñas, curiquingues, and stellate hummingbirds. You will also see plants such as ñáchag, romerillo, and ashpachocho while enjoying views of the Central Andes.

We will cross winding rural goat trails called chaquiñanes and cycle through a colossal gorge with green meadows until we reach the village of San Juan, where our cycling experience concludes.

Our tour finishes as we arrive back at your hotel in Riobamba at 5 pm.
