Chimborazo Volcano 2-Day Hike

Embark on a remarkable two-day trek around the majestic Chimborazo Volcano, where you'll encounter the beautiful vicuñas and witness stunning landscapes.

2-Day Trekking Experience at Chimborazo Volcano

Day 1

Your adventure begins as we pick you up at 7 am from your Riobamba hotel. From there, we will head towards Urbina, stopping briefly to enjoy a fulfilling breakfast. Following our meal, we will make our way to the base of the Chimborazo Volcano, ready to start our journey.

Our 10-kilometre (6-mile) trek will ascend to an impressive altitude of 4,150 metres (13,615 feet), where the Urku Wasi lodge awaits us. Upon arrival, we’ll recharge with a hearty lunch before continuing our excursion towards the magnificent Condor Samana Waterfall. This spectacular waterfall, cascading from 40 metres (131 feet), is fed by a melted glacier from the volcano.

After our exploration, we will return to the lodge for dinner, enjoying a meal beneath the starlit sky of the Ecuadorian Andes.

Day 2

Awake to the warm glow of the rising sun and savor a delicious breakfast to fuel our upcoming hike. We will embark on a 5-hour journey through the picturesque Abraspung Valley, where the grand peaks of Carihuirazo and Chimborazo will unfold before us. Along the trail, we are likely to spot friendly llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas.

After our day of discovery, we will enjoy lunch and then make our descent down the volcano. A scenic minibus ride will take us back, including a stop to admire the impressive La Chorrera Canyon, with its towering rock walls that rise 200 metres (656 feet).

We expect to return to your hotel in Riobamba by 5 pm.
