Climbing Cotopaxi and Climbing Chimborazo in 5 days

This Cotopaxi Climbing tour is the perfect combination for already acclimatized people.
During the 5 days we'll climb the 2 most impressing mountains of our country; Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. But according to our experiences one of the main factors to reach the summits is a previous acclimatization. To those who are not acclimatized we recommend to come some days earlier in order to get used to altitude or to do some acclimatization hikes already in their country.

Day 1:  Quito - Cotopaxi hut 4.800m
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 Ribas refuge (4800 m). After doing some exercises in the glacier we'll have dinner and prepare the ascent. (BL - D)

Day 2:  Refuge - Cotopaxi Summit 5.897m - Cuello de Luna
We'll get up at midnight and after 7 hours we'll reach the summit. After the descent we'll rest a bit in the refuge and then we'll continue to Cuello de Luna Hostelery. (B - BL)

Day 3:  Cuello de Luna Hotel
This day you can relax, doing activities near the hostelry like biking, horseback riding or enjoing its other facilities. (B)

Day 4:  Cuello de Luna - Chimborazo Hut
We'll leave heading south for the "Avenida de los  volcanes" until we'll reach the Hermanos Carrel refuge (4800 m), where we'll relax, have supper and prepare the ascent. (B - BL - D)

Day 5:  Hut - Chimborazo Summit 6267m.- Quito
We'll get up at midnight and after 8 hours we'll reach first the Veintimilla summit and afterwards the Whymper summit (6267m). Around Midday we will be back in the refuge, where we'll  relax a bit, before we'll return to Quito. (B - BL)
