Climbing at this altitude can be very difficult, so please be sure that you are well prepared for this climbing tour. We recommend acclimatizing by spending at least six nights above 3,000m(9842 ft) and climbing twice around 5,000m(16404 ft) in the same week. This can be achieved through a acclimatization program such as the 7 or 5 day program. Following an acclimatization program offers a much higher chance of making a successful climb of Chimborazo.
