Chimborazo Volcano Bike Tour

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

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

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

We'll traverse 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.

The tour will finish as we return to your hotel in Riobamba at 5 pm.
