TRAINING AND PHYSICAL CONDITION

How hard is the trek?

• Our trekking activities in Ecuador volcanoes require good physical fitness and no special technical skills.
• We spend most of the trip from moderate to high altitudes from 9.000 ft (2.743 meters) to 20.000 ft (6.000 meters).

What skills do I need?

• Ecuador volcanoes is a mountaineering trip for fit trekkers who want to experience a first high-altitude glacier travel.
• There is no need to be a very experienced high-altitude climber. However, having some level of trekking or hiking experience can be a big plus.
• There is no need to have previous technical skills or glacier travel techniques (crampons, ice axe, self-arrest).

What physical conditions do I need?

• Anyone with high-moderate physical fitness is welcome to join this trek.
• Volcanoes expedition is more physically demanding as we do the top 3 most challenging Ecuadorian volcanoes (Cotopaxi: 5.897 m / 19.300 ft, Cayambe: 4.600 m / 15.092 ft Chimborazo: 6.310 m / 20.696 ft)

Recommendations:

• Prepare by starting to work on your aerobic fitness from 4 to 6 months prior departure for at least 3 to 4 times a week.
• Gym workout.
• Cardio step aerobics or any other cardio is a high-energy workout.
• Running, hiking, swimming, cycling, or practicing your favorite sport are all excellent ways to train for a trip to Ecuador.
• Build mental preparation for long, strenuous, and challenging mountaineering conditions.
• Learn some rest step and pressure breathing techniques to conserve energy and manage altitude.

 Note: The majority of our clients have found the climbs of Ecuador physically more demanding from what they initially thought.
