An all round amazing trip, cannot recommend enough! From the knowledge of the guides to the quality of the equipment. All the guides were extremely friendly and supportive throughout the 12 hour trip, tending to the needs and skill levels of each member of the group. They shared their vast comprehensive knowledge of the plants and different terrains we covered as well as explaining the history and spiritual aspects of Chimborazo. The bikes and safety equipment were all extremely well maintained and the advice given to deal with being at such high altitude was comprehensive and helpful!

The approach to Chimborazo is spectacular: rolling high slope vistas via moderately-trafficked paved highway with lots of graceful vicuña to marvel at and photograph. At the stone entrance gate, small tourist center and restrooms, the 8-kilometer curvy road to the first Refugio parking lot where you begin the climb, is gravel, uncomfortably ribbed by the plower. My husband and I are well over 70 (76 and 79 !), reasonably fit, and, well, determined. So we decided to try and get to the second Refugio at 16,000 feet. The parking lot at the first Refugio was 15,000 feet, so we were looking at a 1,000-foot climb. What got us there? Plenty of hydration, hiking sticks for me, a kind young Ecuadorean woman who gave us sugar candies to suck for energy and told us to walk very slowly, hyperventilating the whole way up, watching entire friendly Ecuadorean families with small children walk up with us, the fathers often carrying toddlers, resting every 50-100 steps while catching our breath--and a couple of Excedrin to stave off high altitude headaches! We never saw the summit--it was rainy and cloudy, but walking up with so many others who greeted us made the walk seem somehow festive, like we were all in it together! Fun? Not exactly. But really worthwhile for the scenery. And the joy of coming down.
