Our adventure begins in the city of Quito at 6am; it’s an hour long drive to the parking lot called “La Virgen” (3,900m) where we will start our ascension. It will take us about 4 to 6 hours to climb to the summit and we will have to pass some difficult paths on the way. After taking many pictures of the breathtaking landscapes we will head back down to the parking lot where our private transportation will be waiting. Back to Quito.,
