    Description

    Day 1: Ruales – Oleas – Berge Refuge

    We will pick you up from your hotel in the north center of Quito at 10:30am to go to the Cayambe Volcano. We will stop in Cayambe and have time for lunch (lunch not included). Our trip will last about three hours to the Rúales – Oleas – Berge refuge. The first stretch will be characterized by the semi-arid landscapes of the Guayllabamba River canyon; later we will arrive at the Cayambe Volcano in the middle of a very attractive landscape of extensive green fields and forests of all kinds.

    Night at the Rúales – Oleas – Berge Refuge with dinner included

    Day 2: Cayambe Summit

    We will set off for the summit at midnight and hope to arrive between 6 and 7am. It will be a demanding night hike, but with beautiful scenery and unforgettable adventures. We will have time for breakfast at the refuge and leave for Quito around noon, with an estimated arrival time at 2:00pm. End of our services.

    Breakfast included at the Rúales – Oleas – Berge Shelter
