Mountain Climbing Ecuador:

Mountain Climbing Ecuador: End of Season Update from Ecuador Eco Adventure
Ecuador Eco Adventure has officially closed its mid-year mountaineering season with an incredible achievement on Chimborazo, the highest mountain in Ecuador and the closest point on Earth to the sun. On August 29th, a team of nine climbers from the Czech Republic, USA, India, and Italy successfully reached the summit at 6,310 meters. This inspiring international group capped off a strong season with perfect conditions, strong guiding support, and unforgettable views from the top of Ecuador’s most iconic peak.

A Successful Mid-Year Season

Our 2024 mid-year climbing season was marked by exciting summits, unforgettable expeditions, and new friendships built on the glaciers of Ecuador. Climbers tackled Cotopaxi, Cayambe, and Chimborazo with the guidance of our ASEGUIM-certified mountain guides. The highlight came with the late August success on Chimborazo, reminding us why Ecuador remains one of the best destinations in the world for mountaineering. With reliable logistics, cozy basecamps, and professional guides, Ecuador Eco Adventure continues to provide safe and rewarding high-altitude climbs for both seasoned mountaineers and adventurers taking on their first big peak.

As we transition into September and October, we are excited to announce the start of our shoulder season. This is the perfect time for climbers looking for fewer crowds, great acclimatization opportunities, and special deals on our mountaineering packages. The weather conditions during these months often provide excellent summit windows, and we encourage adventurers to take advantage of discounted rates and customized itineraries.

Preparing for the End-of-Year and New Year Season

The end-of-year and New Year season is the most popular time to climb in Ecuador. With long holiday breaks, many climbers choose this season to challenge themselves on Cotopaxi and Chimborazo. These two peaks are our specialty, offering the best combination of technical glacier climbing, breathtaking landscapes, and high-altitude adventure. Cotopaxi, at 5,897 meters, is considered one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world, while Chimborazo, at 6,310 meters, is the ultimate challenge for mountaineers aiming to reach the closest point on Earth to the sun. Our programs are designed to maximize acclimatization, safety, and summit success.
