CLIMBING ILINIZA NORTH 5116mts

This mountain is one of the best in Ecuador for acclimatizing, and needless to say boasts some stunning views. For many, it is a must before attempting Cotopaxi, as it takes you over the 5000m mark.

Day 1:
Early departure by car towards "Los Chillos valley" heading south going through the Avenue of the Volcanoes to "Chaupi", a small town. We continue to La Virgin and from there we will hike for around 3 hours up to the refuge, lunch. Dinner and overnight at the refuge.

Day 2:
Very early breakfast, followed by a hike to the top of Iliniza North following the normal route and the principal ridge. Usually this summit has very little snow and it is easy to reach without crampons, just good sturdy walking boots. Hiking is approx 3 hours up, and then we descend to the refuge and on to La Virgen. Return to Quito.
