Chimborazo Summit - 2 Day Tour

A very popular tour for climbers looking to reach Ecuador's highest mountain peak…and the farthest point from the center of the earth due to the earth's equatorial bulge. There are rocky and icy sections during the climb requiring some mountaineering experience, and acclimatization to altitude and very good physical fitness is essential..

The 6,268 meter Chimborazo volcano was formed by the remains of two ancient volcanoes, and actually has 4 different summits. Considered inactive, its last eruption was about 1400 years ago, but studies of the volcano indicate a future eruption is possible. The volcano is located in central Ecuador near the city of Riobamba (our tour departs from Riobamba)

For the Chimborazo climb, there is a minimum of one guide for every two climbers. Climbing equipment is provided for these tours, and there is a minimum of 2 passengers for these tours (tours are possible for one climber with a private guide, but significantly more expensive). All climbing tours are high risk activities; travel insurance is strongly recommended. While we select the most experienced, quality operators and guides available, neither Eos Ecuador or the tour operators can accept responsibility for accidents or health issues. For all climbing tours, weather conditions or other safety related factors may result in the cancellation of the climb, and if your climbing partner must return to the refuge due to altitude sickness or physical limitations, you may be required to return as well. No refunds are given in these cases.
