Ten summits in the Ecuadorian Andes are over 5000 m. high and covered with eternal snow and ice. Climbing most of these five-thousanders doesn't require technical climbing experience, but you do need to be in very good physical shape and to have acclimatized sufficiently for the high altitude.

Our climbing team is formed by professional mountain guides, who all have many years experience in mountaineering. Before setting off, they will give you basic instructions about the use of the equipment and about the climbing route. On al our climbing tours, 1 guide taxes maximum 2 clients on his rope.

We organize the climbing trips on any day. For 1 single person, the cost is higher than for a group of 2 or more persons. If you travel alone and want to join a group, please check our Notice Board.

TESTIMONIALS

“The Carihuairazo climb with Julio Verne Travel is one of the best tours we've made in the six months we`ve been travelling. Excellent experience at a very reasonable price.”

“The Chimborazo climb was great, the guide fabulous and very experienced. Thanks also for all the help via e-mail beforehand.”

“This is mainly to thank you for the great time you helped us have in Ecuador both in the touring program and in the mountains. I found that the places we visited were all so great, even to the point of exceeding our expectations. Every day was better than the last one.
As for the mountains, all three were a true experience - I think we all learnt from climbing each one of them although as a group I find we had very different mountain experiences and physical condition. I would also like to say a big thank you to the mountain guides who apart from experienced and careful were also patient and friendly with us.”

 “The Chimborazo climbing program was well structured and we received everything that was quoted. The guide was knowledgeable, well equipped and professional, all the equipment serviceable and practical. We found Julio Verne very flexible; we cancelled a tour and rescheduled another and the agency was very understanding. Also very informative.”

  “The Cotopaxi climb has been excellent. My guide was very good: friendly and professional. A full set of equipment was provided and of a high standard. Everything was covered and I will recommend Julio Verne Travel.”
