Chimborazo is Ecuador's highest mountain and it is the point on earth, which is closest to the sun. The glacier tour via the south face to Whymper summit is long and includes technically tricky parts. Therefore good acclimatization, fitness and previous mountaineering experience or adequate training are required.

The tour can be arranged for any day.

starting points & pick up:
Baños, Riobamba, Ambato, Machachi or Quito
