The Carihuairazo volcano is located within the Chimborazo Wildlife Production Reserve, part of Ecuador's National System of Protected Areas. This natural environment is home to unique species such as llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas, which roam freely across the Andean highlands. During the ascent, you can observe these beautiful South American camelids in their natural habitat as you approach one of the country's most spectacular peaks.
Just 10 km from the imposing Chimborazo, this volcano is ideal for those who want to try high-altitude mountaineering for the first time. Our tour takes you to the Central Peak of Carihuairazo, at 5,020 meters above sea level. No prior technical experience is necessary, but good acclimatization to the altitude and physical fitness are required.
With the guidance of our high-altitude mountaineering experts, you will enjoy a safe and enriching experience with unparalleled views of the Ecuadorian Andes.
An excellent option for training before climbing Chimborazo!
