We spend two days exploring Quito, the capital at over 9,200 ft., as we begin the acclimatization process.
After a climb through the protected cloud forest preserve of Pasachoa, we head to our first Ecuador Volcano, Cayambe, at 18,997 ft. for a three days of glacier travel and crevasse instruction before attempting the summit. After a day of rest and re supply, we then travel south of Quito and continue our expedition by climbing Volcan' Cotopaxi at 19,348 ft. Our journey continues farther south, feeling fit and acclimatized, for our attempt of Chimborazo 20,703 ft.
