What to Expect
Capped with equatorial glaciers, climbing Cotopaxi offers an excellent introduction to the world of high-altitude mountaineering. This mountains require intermediate mountaineering skills and offer straightforward climbing at moderately high altitudes.
Our Cotopaxi climb starts in Quito where we will spend a few days exploring Quito’s mix of colonial and modern streets. Hikes in the surrounding Ecuadorian highlands will help us to acclimatize to high altitude. Our adventure continues as we move out into the mountains and climb both Cayambe and finally Cotopaxi.
Any Mountain team leadership will provide training and fundraising guidance throughout the months leading up to our adventure to help ensure your success.
Cost: $12,000.
