CHIMBORAZO & COTOPAXI EXPEDITION
Climb four high Andean volcanoes on a 10-day Ecuador expedition built around progressive acclimatisation, expert local guidance and the flexibility high mountains demand. Chimborazo—the point on Earth’s surface farthest from Earth’s centre—is the defining 6,263 m objective. Cotopaxi is our preferred second glacier summit; when access, volcanic monitoring, weather or mountain conditions make another objective more suitable, our IFMGA guides select Cayambe or Antisana. Prepare with our complete planning guide, beginner suitability guide, season and weather guide, and gear checklist.
