Ecuador Volcano Climbs: Build Skills at Altitude in the Heart of the Andes
Ecuador’s glaciated volcanoes offer one of the best introductions to high-altitude mountaineering anywhere in the world. With dramatic landscapes, steady weather windows, and summits pushing 19,000 feet, this Andean adventure delivers both challenge and reward.
RMI’s Ecuador programs combine glacier travel, altitude experience, and technical training—all under the guidance of expert American and local Ecuadorian guides. You’ll climb iconic peaks like Cotopaxi, Cayambe, and Chimborazo, while building the skills needed for bigger expeditions ahead.
Whether you're joining a full Ecuador Mountaineering Seminar, tagging multiple peaks on the Cayambe and Cotopaxi itinerary, or fast-tracking your summit on our Cotopaxi Express, you'll return home stronger, more capable, and high on mountain perspective.
