The Gold Standard Highlights
The “Soft Landing” (Days 1–3): We skip the initial altitude shock. Start at 3,000 ft in the luxury of Mashpi Lodge to build a physiological baseline in an oxygen-rich cloud forest.
Glacier Mastery at Antisana (Day 6): Don’t learn in the dark. Master technical skills and fixed-rope precision on the wild glaciers of Antisana with Everest-experienced guides.
Medical-Grade Monitoring: You are a data-driven athlete. We monitor your vitals daily, tailoring the pace to your body’s real-time performance.
Epicurean Recovery: High-quality rest is a strategic requirement. Recover in private haciendas with gourmet dining, ensuring you have the strength for 20,000-foot summits.
The “Certainty” Window: Time is the ultimate luxury. Our 16-day schedule is the most robust in the Andes, ensuring you are fully adapted and prepared for the final ascent of Chimborazo.
