Your Travel Experience with chilepro
Day 1
Transfer from Cotopaxi to the Chimborazo Lodge
After breakfast, you will be taken to the Chimborazo Lodge, where you spend the next 3 nights. The Chimborazo Lodge is located in the Chimborazo Nature Reserve, right at the foot of the volcano. Enjoy spectacular views of the highest mountain in Ecuador, surrounded by an untouched nature. In the morning, take a trip to the Cruz de Chalata, a volcanic hill at 4,200 meters above sea level. After lunch at the lodge, you will enter the mystic Polylepis Forest, which is located on the eastern slope of the Chimborazos.
Day 2
Climb to Edward Whymper Lodge
Today begins the preparation for the ascent of the Chimborazo volcano. Together with your guide, you will ascend to the Edward Whymper hut to get used to the altitude. If you do not want to climb the volcano, you can, for example, drive to one of the beautiful indigenous markets in the area and explore it during a stroll.
Day 3
Start of ascent
Before setting off for the Chimborazo, just before midnight, we are preparing for this event. In the afternoon, you will be able to rest properly before you leave at night and you will climb the highest volcano together with the mountain guide. For those who do not climb the volcano the Chimborazo Lodge can offer an alternative program. Just ask at the reception and you will be happy to help you. Or simply enjoy the solitude of the Ecuadorian Andes, watch the llamas while you warm up in front of the stove with a cup of tea.
Day 4
Return to the Chimborazo Lodge
After you have climbed the Chimborazo volcano we descend to the Chimborazo Lodge. Spend a relaxing evening after the stressful days at the lodge's fireplace.
