Chimborazo, Ecuador's crown jewel, beckons climbers with its lofty stature as the highest peak in the country and the closest point to the sun on Earth. Ascending this majestic volcano not only promises the thrill of conquering a challenging summit but also offers the unique distinction of standing on the planet's farthest point from its center, making it an extraordinary and humbling adventure.

No permits are needed but hiring a guide is mandatory.

Chimborazo

Climbing Cotopaxi offers a breathtaking journey up one of the world's highest active volcanoes, where the thrill of ascending through diverse ecosystems culminates in awe-inspiring views from the summit. Its unique blend of challenging terrain and the surreal, moon-like landscape near the top provides an unforgettable adventure for those seeking to embrace nature's majesty.

Cotopaxi 

<p>Cayambe is a striking 5,790-meter volcano, famous for being the highest point on the equator. The climb involves navigating crevassed glaciers, with the route often varying due to shifting ice conditions. It's a moderately technical ascent, and while the altitude can be challenging, the views from the summit, including the vast Amazon Basin and nearby peaks, make the effort worthwhile. The climb is accessible but demands solid acclimatization and glacier travel experience.</p>

Cayambe

<p>Antisana is one of <a href="../../../climbing/south-america/ecuador">Ecuador's</a> lesser-climbed giants, standing at 5,704 meters. It's a challenging ascent due to its complex glaciers and unpredictable weather, which can change rapidly. The climb isn't technical but requires good glacier travel skills and an understanding of crevasse navigation. The approach is remote, adding to the sense of adventure, and once on the summit, the views are expansive, offering a rare perspective of the surrounding Andean peaks.</p>
