Preguntas Frecuentes
Escalada al Cayambe
Q: What is the altitude of Cayambe, and how do we acclimatize?
Cayambe’s summit stands at 5,790 meters (18,996 feet) above sea level. To acclimatize, our itinerary includes a gradual ascent with proper rest periods, starting with a stay at the Ruales-Oleas-Berge refuge at 4,600 meters (15,091 feet). This allows your body to adjust to the high altitude and reduces the risk of altitude sickness. Additionally, we pace the climb to ensure a safe and comfortable ascent.
Before your summit attempt, we also offer special acclimatization tours to ensure a succesful climb. Check our other tours!
Q: How fit do I need to be for this climb?
We require and appreciate a certain level of experience for this tour to ensure you get the most out of the experience.
Q: What if one climber needs to descent?
Please keep in mind that there will be two climbers per mountain guide. If one traveler is unable to continue, the entire group must return unless there are additional guides available to split the group.
Q: What happens in case of bad weather?
Weather can be unpredictable in the mountains. Our guides will make safety decisions based on weather conditions. If conditions are unsuitable for climbing, glacier training or summit attempts may be adjusted accordingly.
Q: How do we handle emergencies or altitude sickness?
Our guides are trained in high-altitude first aid and emergency procedures. In case of altitude sickness or other emergencies, they will assess the situation and decide on the best course of action, including descent if necessary.
Q: What is the best time of year to climb Cayambe?
The best time to climb Cayambe is during the dry seasons, from June to August and from December to February. These periods typically offer the most stable weather conditions.
Q: Is travel insurance required?
Yes, we highly recommend travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and climbing, medical emergencies, and trip cancellations. This ensures that you are protected in case of unexpected events.
