IntroductionAntisana is a rarely climbed peak in a remote and interesting part of Ecuador. It rises impressively above the grasslands of the altiplano, surrounded by herds of wild horses, wolves, llamas and condors. The expedition is more 'backcountry' than our popular Ecuador Volcanoes expedition, as most of our nights in the mountains are spent in tents rather than huts. The greater difficulty and remoteness of our objectives, combined with their scenic beauty, make this an inspiring alpine climbing expedition... read moreEcuador's highest mountain, Chimborazo can be climbed as an extension to this expedition.
You can round off your trip with an optional extension ... read more about Antisana extensions.
