Climbing Cotopaxi and Chimborazo Ascent in 6 days

This 6 day tour comprises, besides the combination of two of our most impressing mountains, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, an extra day in case we can't make it to the summit at the first go. But here as well a good acclimatization is necessary to reach the striven peaks.

We'll leave Quito in the morning by car and after one and a half hours we'll get to the Cotopaxi National Park. We'll hike one more hour until we'll reach the Jose Rivas refuge (4800 m). After doing some exercises in the glacier we'll have dinner and prepare the ascent. (BL - D)
