Venture south for a hiking and rock and ice climbing expedition through the spectacular volcanic terrain of Ecuador! Under the supervision of Peak Expedition's world class guides, and after acclimatization on Pinchincha (15,500 ft), the team will take you on to majestic Cotopaxi (19,498 ft). You'll practice roped travel skills, crampon and ice axe use, and crevasse rescue techniques.  After taking in a fine dinner and relaxing hotel stay, you'll be ready to tackle the massive Chimborazo (20,702 ft) in the western cordillera. With a perfect safety record and groundbreaking techniques in working with individuals with varying abilities and disabilities, Peak Expeditions will provide the trip of a lifetime, including time spent immersed in local culture. And with excellent leader-participant ratios, you'd better get your bids in early if you want this one! Price includes everything except airfare, including equipment. Excellent physical fitness is required. Two weeks starting in Mid-February.
