FAQs

In the mountains, there is no room for improvisation. We focus on professional logistics, certified guides, and a clear priority on safety and planning. We believe the mountain is not conquered, but respected.

Absolutely. All our mountain guides are certified by IFMGA / UIAGM. They are supported by years of experience in high-altitude climbing, glaciers, and technical expeditions.

We promote responsible mountaineering. We aim to minimize environmental impact while fostering respect for local communities and Andean culture.

What technical equipment is included in the fee?

We provide the essential technical gear for the activity, including:

  • Mountaineering helmet.

  • Harness.

  • Mountaineering ice axe and crampons.

  • HMS carabiner.

While you are welcome to use your own equipment if it meets high-mountain standards , we offer rental options for items you might be missing. We also have a partnership with a specialized provider to offer discounts to our participants.

We recommend a three-layer system:

  • Base Layer: Thermal tops and leggings (synthetic or merino wool).

  • Insulation Layer: Fleece jacket and softshell or trekking pants.

  • Outer Shell: Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants.

  • Note: A heavy down jacket is also required for additional insulation.

💪 Experience & Requirements

Do I need prior experience to climb in Ecuador?

It depends on the program:

  • Explorer Series: Designed for beginners or active travelers seeking «soft adventure».

  • Signature & Elite Series: Best for fit travelers or intermediate climbers.

  • Express Ascent Series: Only for experienced and already well-acclimatized clients.

For our main objectives like Cotopaxi or Chimborazo, an intermediate to advanced fitness level is recommended. We design itineraries that respect the body’s adaptation process to altitude.

  • Park entrance permits.

  • Pre-expedition briefings and gear checks.

International/domestic flights, personal clothing, tips, personal expenses, and alcoholic beverages. Mandatory travel and mountain activity insurance is also the responsibility of the client. 

🛡️ Safety & Health

How do you handle altitude sickness?

Safety is our absolute priority. Our programs feature progressive acclimatization strategies, including «sleep at altitude» nights and training peaks before attempting major summits.

Weather, volcanic activity, and route conditions are unpredictable. We reserve the right to make itinerary adjustments to ensure the safety of all participants.
