Difficulty: Demanding
Climbing high altitudes needs previous training, if you are not correctly acclimatized you can suffer from different altitude illnesses.
We strongly reccomend to make acclimatization programs before you can reach the highest peaks in Ecuador.
Mountain climbing can be a high risk activity which can expose your physical ability to extreme conditions. For this reason we highly recommend to realize a previous appointment with your doctor for a general physical check up. We also recommend to not be taking any medication during your climbs, but in case you have to, you must previously ask your guide for authorization to take those medications during the tour.
