Description: Before sunrise we drive to the village of Casha Pampa at an altitude of 3.300m (10.800ft). We will start our climb (5-6 hours) through an area of páramo grasslands with spectacular views of the city of Ibarra and snow-covered Cayambe. At higher altitudes the trail becomes rockier and we will walk around the volcano crater until we reach the top at 4.610m (15.125ft). After a rest and a well-deserved snack, we descend (3-4 hours).
Difficulty: moderate-difficult
Total Duration: 10-12 hours
Note: We also offer this tour in a 2-day version (LCT-8a) with one night of camping.
