Climbing Cotopaxi and Chimborazo Ascent in 6 days

This 6 day tour comprises, besides the combination of two of our most impressing mountains, Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, an extra day in case we can't make it to the summit at the first go. But here as well a good acclimatization is necessary to reach the striven peaks.
