The Ecuador trip starts with several days of acclimatizing and sight seeing in Quito and nearby Otovalo. The next 2 days are the first two shorter acclimatization climbs of the trip on Fuya Fuya and Imbabura. These climbs makes for great acclimatization at nearly 15,000ft and feature fun, challenging scrambling. After this, climbers are ready to embark on their first climb of Cayambe at nearly 19,000ft. After Cayambe, we have historically climbed Cotopaxi, however, with Cotopaxi currently erupting, both of our winter trips this year opted to climb nearby Antisana. Everyone loved Antisana as it is both technical and beautiful making for a much more engaging climb. If you choose to add Chimborazo, then you will head South to the tallest mountain in Ecuador and attempt to climb to the 20,500ft summit. This trip truly has something for everyone!<\/p>\n<p>Check out our website for more information!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[26645]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26646\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1450\" height=\"1933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg 1450w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-940x1253.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-620x827.jpg 620w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Porter-Descending-Antisana-Romulo-Cardenas-146x195.jpg 146w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1450px) 100vw, 1450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: IMG Guide Porter McMichael descending on Antisana with an IMG Climber (Romulo Cardenas)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[26645]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2016\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas.jpg 2016w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ecuador-Antisana-summit-Romulo-Cardenas-195x146.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2016px) 100vw, 2016px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: The January 2023 Ecuador team on the summit of Antisana (Romulo Cardenas)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 26, 2023 With the entire January Ecuador team back in the US after another excellent trip down there, we are excited to announce our Winter 2023\/2024 Ecuador Volcano dates!
