In the northern part of Ecuador, over 200 volcanic elevations are symmetrically aligned atop the Andes ranges, most of them are easily accessible within hours from Quito. Over ten mountains are covered year round with glaciers and their altitudes are above 5000 meters.

EXPEDICIONES ANDINAS offers climbing tours to Ecuador’s principal climbing destinations. The main climbing package consists of an acclimatization ascent up Ruco Pichincha (4,794 m) near Quito, a conditioning climb up North Illiniza (5,116 m), a climb up the world’s highest active volcano, Cotopaxi (5,897 m) and finally the ascent up the majestic Chimborazo (6,310 m).

This package lasts 15 days and challenges both the intermediate and seasoned climber. Also, EXPEDICIONES ANDINAS offers top quality technical mountaineering equipment, full camping equipment, overnight facilities, cuisine, and transportation, and now offers our climbing friends the exclusive use of the “Estrella del Chimborazo” hut at the Chimborazo base camp where llamas and alpacas breed in a magnificent landscape.

While the main climbing package is prearranged, we can tailor climbs for groups that would like to include other peaks or activities in their package. All climbs are guided either by Marco Cruz himself, or by a qualified and experienced guide working on the EXPEDICIONES ANDINAS team.
