Carihuairazo-Chimborazo Trek (2 days)
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1 We leave at 9:00 a.m. from Riobamba by car and drive for about 45 minutes to the Chimborazo Reserve. We put our equipment on horses and then start hiking on the páramo grasslands. After about 5 - 6 hours of hiking we reach the foot of Carihuairazo, where we make our camp at about 4000 m. / 13.124 f.
Day 2 After breakfast we leave our campsite and continue hiking. If the weather is clear, we will have good views of Chimborazo, Carihuairazo and Altar. During the hike we may see the only species of hummingbird that lives at high altitude (the `Star of Ecuador´), and vicuña's, a kind of lama. After about 5 hours of hiking we arrive at a small road, from where we will drive back by car to Riobamba.
