Description Suggest change

Craggy extinct volcano with incredibly easy access from Quito makes for a great first acclimatization peak. The normal route is well marked and you are unlikely to be alone, offering some classic Ecuadorian sand marching. There are numerous other ways up, my personal favorite being the east ridge.

Getting There Suggest change

Teleferico up to Cruz Loma, then it is about 90 minutes to the base of the peak proper.
