Experience the Chimborazo volcano
One of the highlights during your stay at Hotel Hacienda Abraspungo is of course a visit to the Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador. At almost 6,300 meters high, this is the highest volcano and mountain in all of Ecuador. And the good thing, you can easily visit this impressive mountain.
Hike to 5000 meters
You drive directly by car to an altitude of 4,800 meters, and if you are lucky you will encounter vicuñas along the way. At 4800 meters there is a small refugio called Hermano Carrel, where you can eat and drink something. On sunny days, there is a great view of the surroundings. Upon arrival at 4800 meters, you will already feel the altitude, so it is important to take it easy. Are you feeling fine and are you ready for a hike? Then you can walk two hundred meters and ascend to refugio Whymper, located at 5000 meters, often in the snow. And two hundred meters sounds like nothing, but believe me, it takes a lot of effort, because of the altitude. But on a nice day, you return to Hotel Hacienda Abraspungo with a satisfied feeling. The walk up takes an hour, depending on your pace.
Do you also want to climb the Chimborazo volcano? You can book a tour here. Of course you can also rent a car and drive yourself towards 4,800 meters. Entrance is free.
Cycle tour
Another beautiful way to experience the Chimborazo volcano is through a bike tour. From 4,800 meters you cycle down through the Chimborazo National Park, quite an experience where you observe the landscape in a special way.
