High season is keeping us busy, but yes, there is a small slot for a Christmas Tour for the 2 of us, our targets are Sincholagua and Antisana, 2 of the less visited mountains in Ecuador. We leave Baños very early and head to Cotopaxi National Park, where our tour to Sincholagua shall start. more “Sincholagua & Antisana”
Definitely an ambitious target: climbing Chimborazo, especially due to the situation that still both refugees are closed. For our group it’s clear from the very beginning: only Oliver and Lukas are going to try the summit, Karin will enjoy the beauty of Chimborazo National Park, staying down. more “attacking the highest – Chimborazo 6.310 m”
Ecuador is the perfect location for acclimatization tours. After leaving Quito we head north to Otavalo, where acclimatization continues: a visit to the market and the lagoon Cuicocha. It takes us approximately 3 hours to get from Quito to Otavalo. We first check in at our hotel and afterwards it’s market time. more “acclimatization pack – Ecuador”
