The challenge
Arriving in the multi-ethnic city of Quito, you will kick off this fantastic challenge with a visit to the equator line before heading for the nearby volcanoes to set of on your trek.

Your challenge in the spectacular Avenue of Volcanoes begins with Pasochoa and El Corazon volcanoes, followed by Iliniza and culminates in the world's highest active volcano, the magical Mt. Cotopaxi.

The climb to Mt. Cotopaxi's (5,897m) summit is optional to those of the group who are exceptionally fit and prepared for the tough summit bid. Much of the final climb is on its glacier.

You will start your climb at around midnight when the ice is hard and easiest to trek on. As the sun starts to rise you will see that the clouds, that for days have been so far above, are now down below you. Through gaps in the white mist, there are spectacular views of the Andes in every direction.
