What Makes the Chimborazo and Cotopaxi Expedition Epic?

What makes this expedition one of the most unforgettable adventures in the Andes? In this excerpt from Talking Outdoors, LHO founder Rami Rasamny breaks down why our Chimborazo and Cotopaxi expedition stands out, from the powerful acclimatisation strategy to the sheer scale of the climbs, the diversity of terrain, and the deep sense of transformation that comes from summiting the highest peak on Earth measured from the center of the planet. This isn’t just a mountaineering trip. It’s a full-circle experience. With multiple summits, expert local guides, an LHO team leader and photographer, handpicked boutique stays, and contingency built in for success, this is high-altitude climbing done the right way.
