Ecuador is the dream country for trekking, hiking, expeditions, and mountain climbing.
The mountains are incredibly accessible \u2014 roads reach up to 4,800 m, and the Whymper refuge, at 5,000 m, is the highest in the world \u2014 making it possible to accomplish several beautiful climbs in a relatively short time.
The many volcanoes reaching nearly 6,000 m will delight both seasoned mountaineers and beginners alike\u2026<\/p>\n

Altitude plays a crucial role, and good acclimatization is essential for the success of your high-mountain program.<\/p>\n

In Ecuador, along the Andes mountain range, rise some of the most impressive volcanoes: Cayambe, crossed by the equator; Sangay, one of the most active volcanoes in the world; the snow-covered peaks of Antisana; the nearly perfect cone of Cotopaxi (the highest active volcano in the world at 5,897 m); the majestic Altar massif; and the colossal Chimborazo, towering at 6,310 meters above sea level over the Andean highlands.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n
