Ecuador CAYAMBE 2d/1n

Day 1: Cayambe refuge 4600 m

Today we head to the Cayambe volcano, the third highest mountain in Ecuador after the Chimborazo and the Cotopaxi. We will drive to the Oleas refuge (4600 m). Here we will get accommodation and enjoy the spectacular view over the Ecuadorian highlands. Food will be served at the refuge and we will spend the night here.

Accommodation: Refuge Oleas                 Meals: dinner

Day 2: Cayambe 5790 m

Our ascension will begin at midnight. The Cayambe ascension is not of a technical type, it consists in crossing some crevasses and being in a good health condition. We reach the peak early in the morning where a spectacular view will be presented in front of us. For the ascension and back we will need around 9-10 hours. Then we head back to Quito.

Meals: box lunch breakfast (ascent)
