El Altar Volcano 2-Day Hike

Day 1: Riobamba - El Altar Volcano

At 7 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Riobamba and travel to the base of the El Altar Volcano at an altitude of 22,965 feet (7,000 metres). Upon arrival, we will provide a packed lunch for the hike and prepare our equipment for the 9-mile (15-kilometre) route through Sangay National Park. During the ascent, we will observe various flora including laurels, royal palms, achupallas, ferns, and orchids.

After 7 hours of walking, we will set up our tents for the night and enjoy a dinner under the Andes' starry sky.

Day 2: El Altar Volcano - Riobamba

After a restful night, we will have breakfast to prepare for the day. Before departing for the summit, we will provide a bag of food for the route.

We will traverse 1 mile (2 kilometres) of rocky trails to reach the summit at 13,451 feet (4,100 metres). From the crater, we will see the Yellow Lagoon, formed after the volcano's last eruption in the 15th century. Afterwards, we will return to the base and take a minibus back to Riobamba, arriving at your hotel around 4 pm.
