Very early departure (around 1:00am); it is necessary to be in excellent shape to climb Chimborazo 1’300m of altitude gain (4,265').
The climbing is not easy, glacial for two thirds, but what a beautiful objective to summit the highest point in the country.
This used to be known as the highest mountain on earth… before the Himalayas summits were discovered. 8 - 12 strenuous climb.
